Developing Mastodon, I strive to use terminology that is familiar to as many people as possible so as to not put up unnecessary barriers in understanding. For this reason I am happy that we went away from calling posts "toots". It has always been a point of friction for people. Not that I dislike branding, quite the opposite, but in my experience receiving feedback over half a decade, it had a negative effect on the platform for little benefit.

Hi Eugen !

Thanks for 'keeping it real'

- I'm happier to 'post' than 'toot' or etc...!

I've also started to 'sensi-censor' images, after learning that some viewers might be disturbed by faces looking towards them.

Would it be possible at some point to provide the image-mounting interface with a dropdown of detail labels for this purpose...?

It seems unlikely that most of the newer users will be working from the same view of 'sensitivities' that your habitual posters understand...
