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
@glyph reblogs? What?? But they're not even blogs!!

Exactly. But the developers refer to Mastodon as a microblogging service so they think everyone else uses these terms. They're wrong, but... (shrugs)

@FediThing remicroblog 👀
