Now that quote posts are a thing on Mastodon, we need an insufferably cutesy nickname for them that everyone hates but still gets used anyway.
To that end I nominate “Quoots”, a portmanteau of ‘quote’ and ‘toot’. I believe it’s the worst possible option, solidly cementing Mastodon in particular and the Fediverse in general as having the worst slang on the internet.
Please quoot to spread the word.
@Fruan I’m sad to report that Bluesky has stolen the Fediverses crown for the worst slang with “skeets” (and “bloosks”)
@Fruan maybe "toque" -- it's like "quoted toot" spelled sideways (a la Libby the Kid), and it calls to mind a toot that you put a hat on. (your addition)
@WizardOfDocs @revmem @Fruan 1 toque over the line ;)
@Fruan Alternative suggestion: tote?
And multiple totes can be called a totebag?
