Mastodon Is Better Than Twitter: Elevator Pitch
Who names these things - cumbersome, heavy, ancient ... doesn't look like they did even a cursory test.
I'm as anti-marketing as the next person but that doesn't mean I'd call my child Shithead.

I'm a little turned off by posts being called toots but I suppose I could get over it.

The system should be called Trumpet/Bugle, fits well with toots. "Toot" is a childish term for a fart; but most words have some downside and it's quite a fun word, much better than a wanking-professor (masto-don).

Not everyone lives in the U.S. and in Europe toot is not offensive, it just means the sound an elephant makes with its trunk.

Sounds more like a good name for a metal band... Oh wait
