Is there a verb for posting a Mastodon status? Like "tweet" for updating Twitter. 🤔

@kevingimbel on mastodon.social it's "toot", on here i guess it's "awoo" since that's what the button says

@typhlosion so the wording is decentralized, too (joking). I think neither of those go well in a sentence, e.g. "I was tooting" or "I awoo now on awoo.space". Guess it felt odd to say "I'm tweeting" at first, too so I think I'll get used to it.

@kevingimbel i've just been saying "post" honestly, but yeah, it might be acquirable

@typhlosion if I was to actually talk or write about it I'd go with "post", too. :)

@kevingimbel It seems like each community picks its own verb. Ours seems to be awoo.

@kevingimbel exactly that. I should have been more precise.
