I know mastodon joked about not changing their name in their recent changelog but I wish they really did change it. It’s long, doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue and it’s difficult to pronounce in most languages.
End of rant.
Edit: above all I don’t think it’s a cool name. Can’t imagine asking my friends to follow me on Mastodon. They’re just gonna think it’s something dumb or weird. At least if it had a cool name they would be curious and ask what it’s about.
Cutting it short to ‘Masto’ would be the best idea tbh. Nice and short without making a huge change.
Apparently that means tits
That’s makes it even better. Everyone loves tits
True (well, almost true), but I’m not sure everyone will want to ask people to “follow me on tits” 😄
If you close your account, are you off your tits?
Indeed.
Does that make Mastodon the godfather of tits?
I vastly prefer Don. Or, if you must, Tits. Masto is tits and chewing
Please, just do not. Do not shorten any name or word. It sounds terribly, as if some wannabee-cool marketeer without a basic dignity of language-user invented it.
Tooties 👀
