@photonic_sorcerer Maybe. But you didn't show that genius potential in your toot.

Oh, right, because we judge intelligence based on comments made on the internet. How could I have forgotten?

Also, this isn't Mastodon. I'm proud to say I've never tooted in my life.

"Toot" is a silly word invented to make Mastodon seem like Twitter. However "tweet" is equally ridiculous.

We already have a word - "comment" - which is universally understood. Also has the added benefit of not being conceived by some Silicon Valley marketing genius.
