Yes, it is pronounced Shitter, and Tweets are now Toots.
X-creets
Yea I always used “Xcreations”. Nothing but shit anyways…
Do NOT associate Mastodon stuff with that shit
What term constituted “mastodon stuff” to prompt your comment? Haven’t yet tried mastodon so just curious.
Toots
A guy pledged a bunch of money to the creator of Mastodon if he named the posts “toots”. So the name stuck and Mastodon got a bunch of server and development funds.
Tweets are now Sharts!
