There has been a new name for ages, they're called posts now, they're only called that by people who have been around for a while and liked the weird name. Being "professional" is boring
I'm worried this will make it harder for people to transition to mastodon as it's more of a shock. It would help if someone made a mastodon frontend to mimic twitter (shitty UI, paywalled, occasionally insert low quality AI generated posts, ads, read limits) for a smoother transition /s

mstdn tweets being called toots is horrible, they need a new name IMO...

It’s ok to be quirky but the word toots gives a cheap knock off vibe, and I’m saying this as a lover of the fediverse.

They aren't called toots, other than by people who call them toots. I still call them toots for nostalgia sake and because I'm a sucker for whimsy

Clearly "twat" is the answer

I don't understand why they're not just called posts

They are, the name was officially changed ages ago. They're only called Toots by Mastodon old-schoolers.

"This doesn't suck enough. What are you people hiding??"

I think Mastodon should limit the amount of toots you can read in a day to 44 billion.

Oh my gosh, this is freaking hilarious.
I assume they're referencing this: https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/133319/Elon-Musk-Really-Broke-Twitter-This-Time

This has to be it. At first I thought it was foreshadowing of the meta meeting. Thank God it's just a little humour!

It’s 100% joking about Elon Musk’s Twitter.

Is there still no OLED/ pure black toggle?

I like the overhaul. It is a huge improvement, but I still think the 3rd party offerings are better in the user experience part for now.
