It 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

Maybe a minority opinion here: I do not think there was *nearly* as much brand equity in #toots as there was in #tweets.

@paninid @glyph Yeah I always thought “toot” was cringe and refuse to use it.

They’re trying to call them “skeets” over on bluesky and that ain’t happening for me either.
