Why is it called "boosting" and not "retooting"?
@deathpigeon Maybe retoot sounds terrible?
@oyasumi Retoot is beautiful. Don't @ me.
@oyasumi Blocced.
@deathpigeon tootboosting
@trwnh Reboosttooting.
@deathpigeon Why is it called Mastodon and not Tooter?
@Kunoichi TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT
@Kunoichi @deathpigeon metal band
Toot came from a patron backer
@LinuxSocist @Kunoichi Masotooter would make it sound like we're masochists, which I like.
@deathpigeon Because our Mastodon Overlord deemed it so. @Gargron
@futuretro @Gargron It was a bad decision. Retoot is just plain better.
@futuretro @Gargron "Everything sacred is a tie, a fetter."
@deathpigeon Maybe because of copyright problem, dunno but quite funny tho.
@CircusAfro Tumblr has reblog just fine, so I doubt there's a copyright problem.
@deathpigeon Possibly for the same reason this is called Mastodon and not 'Tooter'. 😉
@Swaino Mastodons were animals which presumably tooted, so it is called tooter, in a way. Also, tooter sounds like Hooters.
@deathpigeon Sometimes we have to make a choice :grin:
