@tkk13909@fosstodon.org @lydiamiller@mas.to @sc_griffith@mathstodon.xyz Its dumb stuff but like lots of it in lots of different places all just to run more dumb stuff for some dumb product. Like Google or whatever

@nei@lgbtqia.space What if my problem is that my trans friend cannot exist as they want to because of their family & Societal pressure? The fact that I sit helplessly & am utterly unable to help fix their problems. Best I can offer is a hug and time away from everyone else :(

@tomharris@mastodon.social I mean sure but back in 2008 when twitter was about as big as mastodon is now (and growing a lot slower) saying tweet felt a little embarrassing. It's the use of the word in modern culture that matters, and as the platform grows and toot becomes normalized it will stop feeling strange and be as natural as saying tweet. I mean after all the mascot is a mammoth and they tooted

@minuskelvin@mastodon.gamedev.place We will continue to call it Toots. The publish (or hopefully post) button can stay but we will forever refer to the content being published/posted as a toot. You are publishing a toot

@ebrooks@mastodon.scot @Gargron@mastodon.social it's a great name and very iconic. It's also not a very commonly used word so the few connotations it has right now will give way to what it means on mastodon with time and mainstream adoption. Tweet was a little strange in the beginning too but now it's common place. Same with email. We make the words what we perceive them so as mastodon keeps building more of a presence it starts meaning posting more and more

@guilevi@dragonscave.space I had neglecting doing it for a few of my posts but all the recent ones I caption. It makes my day to hear that it's important to someone

@minuskelvin@mastodon.gamedev.place See that is the ideal. People being able to choose themselves not limited by the instance admin
