@emewhort "Toot" They call them toots here....
I know, right?
yes, Toot it is, as in the sound of an elefant blowing thru it's trunk. If you think about it "tweeting" is just as silly a word, tweeting like little birds, are we? LOL.

It´s a good thing to get familiar with the way things work here, in the Fediverse. It´s a Fedration of independant systems, each supporting itself and having discretion of setting their own preferred rules.
There are places with more strict rules, some with less, some which are hellholes we best keep distance from.
So it´s good to know. 😉
Any questions, just ask.
