Now that quote posts are a thing on Mastodon, we need an insufferably cutesy nickname for them that everyone hates but still gets used anyway.

To that end I nominate “Quoots”, a portmanteau of ‘quote’ and ‘toot’. I believe it’s the worst possible option, solidly cementing Mastodon in particular and the Fediverse in general as having the worst slang on the internet.

Please quoot to spread the word.

@Fruan I'm pretty sad that we left the "toot" terminology.

Also, I vote for retoot.

@jorijn retoot sounds like an actually sane option I would not be surprised to encounter occasionally.
@Fruan @jorijn isn't that already what we can call boosts?
@jorijn @Fruan come to FRZ, we have Toot buttons. :)
@jorijn @Fruan some of us still toot, there’s no toot-cops to stop you if that’s what you prefer 💁‍♀️
