The Mastodon culture just isn't there yet. And it's a bit of work to actually use. Plus "toots" sounds even more stupid than "tweets" and I'm not sure it will ever really take off.
Toots is no longer the official term, which has been replaced by "Posts". Toots was always mostly a joke anyway
This is major news. I really hated that word.
To be honest, there was years of backlash to the "tweeting" and "googling" but both made it into the lexicon. However it's smart of Mastodon to just move to a normal terminology
This reminds me of the recent Behind the Bastards episodes where Robert reads the court filings of fired Twitter employees who continuously refer to themselves as Tweeps. At Mastadon they'd probably call themselves Tooters.
