It's a way to placate the "hehe toots" trolls while still getting them on the fediverse

using the word "toot" was a bad decision, as Eugen acknowledged when he made his mobile apps stop using the word back in May. And as of this month, it's finally gone from the web app too. Good riddance!

There's a rumour that it was the youtube lib hbomberguy who made Gargron call the posts "toots" in exchange for some donations

That's because the more you toot, the better you feel!

It will always be the toot button in my heart (and because I mainly use Masto with Tusky on mobile, it still is).

Whatever happened to having a little fun? Posting a little toot now and then?
