GlyphIt seems silly but mastodon’s retreat from the language of “toots” and now even “boosts” ( they’re “reblogs” in the official app now ) is exactly the same dumb-as-rocks discarding of a recognizable brand that Xitter is doing
zeldman@glyph In principle, I would normally agree with you. But, personally, I find the whole “toots” thing objectionable. It actually kept me from being an early adopter of Mastodon. Fart humor. Genteel euphemisms. Bleh! The worst. “Posts” is accurate and portable. In a federated universe, using widely accepted terms across multiple platforms makes sense; calling federated posts “toots” if they originate on a Mastodon instance seems kind of limiting, given the wider context. JMO YMMV
