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
Hbomberguy came up with “toot” and millions more people have seen his _four hour long_ monologue about plagiarism than have ever had a mastodon account, just think about that for a minute
@tang0008@glyph I call BS. This screenshot is from the official app (iOS). Also, I’m siding with the “toots and tweets are fun, but they are posts”-crowd.
