Someone said "toots" reminded them of farts and I will never get that image out of my head XD

Yeah I think it's good for people to have a range of choices and there's something about microblogging that really works for me. Maybe because it feels so conversational, idk. I liked Twitter in the early days--I joined in 2008 and I joke that it helped me pass the bar exam, by keeping me aware and accountable for my use of time. I long since dropped of Twitter and recently deactivated, but Mastodon captures some of that energy for me.
