Hi @Gargron, the Dutch Mastodon community just decided a message/microblog on this platform is called a Tetter. All credits to @Geagiteerd. 🐘🐘🐘

But, but, but... why? :( http://www.dictionary.com/browse/tetter

@svetlozaurus @Gargron @anneardon Tetteren is the Dutch word for the sound elephants (mastodons) make, and it's also commonly used when someone doesn't stop talking.

@svetlozaurus @anneardon @Geagiteerd I don't mind whatever people want to call it. I'll keep the UI neutral with publish/reblog

@Gargron @anneardon Ah, mystery solved! I see your point, @Geagiteerd. I'll be confident in using "tetter" and "meep" as synonyms from now on. :)
