>Unfortunately it looks like Mastodon still hasn’t renamed their “toots” Maybe we wouldn't have so many reasons to leave twitter if people had taken tweets less seriously in the first place. If everyone knows that artificially short posts with insanely widespread potential reach are all 屁s, that could help fix a lot of what's wrong in our world.

I suspect there's a limited number of people who want to be told so explicitly that they're just farting their thoughts out online.

  Well, if we overanalyze everything, the same could be said about the neediness of tweeting birds to get the attention of a possible partner [1]. [1] https://i.imgur.com/Ks17qEJ.png https://i.imgur.com/Ks17qEJ.png

    It’s not over analyzing though, it’s literally the first thing many people will notice.

  You're probably right, and they're probably pretty interesting and fun to be around.

    I'm back, to smell and reply to my own toot today. It's always better fermented. I want to talk about the kanji I used earlier, "屁". Like many movements about what should be done with regard to social media platform policies, it's composed out of radicals. In the case of 屁, that would be this radical, 尸, whose on yomi is shi, and 比 which is hi. The kun yomi are longer and not derived from the shared Japanese heritage with China, who also use this kanji for the word "fart". The Japanese word is "Onara", the chinese word is "Pi" which seems a lot more onomatopoeic. 尸 in this case has a meaning of "corpse" or human remains, and is very close to the kanji for "door", I almost mistook it for just being that. 比 has to do with comparisons, also apparently has something to do with race. So the image I get through this kanji when I connect it to "tooting" on social media, is as follows: "The corpse of someone who could have been somebody opens up the door of its sphincter, and releases a gaseous comparison about race."

  There are many people who are proud of “shitposting”.
