@Gargron Toot isn’t the word Americans use for the sound an elephant makes. We say trumpet. Toot’s not onomatopoeic for us. What’s wrong with post?

Toot in a different language wouldn’t trigger the joke near as much. That said none of them seemed that functional either. Trumpet doesn’t work because it has too many negative connotations.

As kids millions of us sang “the bean the bean the magical fruit. The more you eat the more you toot”. “full of beans” = full of BS

@workingclasshistory Jesus, that was brave of them.

@Mastodon Mastodon is already so much better about all this than most platforms, it will be nice to see it improved even more. 🥰👍#Mastodon #Twitter

@feditips Thanks for the info.👍

@feditips Except that pesky faint boost button and since I only post on my iPad it’s sometimes infuriatingly slow to load.

@feditips Yes, yes and yes I am that lazy and have been meaning to upgrade by being whiney is infinitely easier😉 Thanks for the info, the solidarity & the hope. 🥰

@feditips What about an emoji you don’t need a microscope to see and a boost button where the whole thing turns green. (Why yes, apparently I am old…now get off my lawn) #Mastodon

@feditips Why do I see a horn & mastodon but no name?

@feditips Any1 who’s dealt w/ Elon, or Jack on Twitter, should be on board making sure that .social doesn’t get so big some creep wants to buy it. We should be telling #newbies about it when they migrate before they’ve done a lot of posts that they could lose, they should look & see if a different instance would suit them better. If you’re concerned, talk to atleast one newbie a week! We can make a serious dent in this problem. #mastodon #Twitter #TwitterMigration
