I won't, since instances like mastodon.social have been using "post" for over a year now. Personally I think "toot" is perfectly fine; no sillier than "tweet".

- corobo 3y agoTweet is a noise birds make when they're talking to each other Toot is a fart
- djbusby 3y agoHorns toot. One can toot their own horn even.
- echelon 3y agoIt's ambiguous and overloaded. Even if you explain to users (a situation you should never find yourself in), they'll still subconsciously maintain the overloaded meaning.
- righthand 3y agoYes how will people ever wrap their heads around it? Those poor stupid users…
- corobo 3y agoYes but as arses tooting is funnier that interpretation will always take precedence At least it's not as bad as Bluesky's skeet, I'll give it that E: returning from a rabbit hole. Looks like Mastodon retired toot back in 2022 anyway (and skeet was never officially sanctioned by Bluesky) The toot is moot.
