發文叫做 Toot 的原因（等等為什麼我還沒睡
2016 mastodon 還在早期開發階段時，有個 Youtuber 提議，如果把發文叫做 toot，他就永遠贊助 mastodon 的開發
開發者不是 native english speaker，以為 toot 就只是放屁聲/號角聲，就改了
不過 toot 還有另一層 slang 的意思，是吸古柯鹼的意思
所以這個詞很不幸的在 4.0 版會被改掉（但是也許中文的嘟出去還會被留下？）

Probably not a lot of people know this now, but Mastodon's web app started out with "Publish". In 2016 a famous YouTuber jokingly offered to support Mastodon's Patreon forever if I changed the button to say "Toot" instead. Needless to say, this was a really early, and not very informed decision. The first glimpse of attention and financial support. As a non-native speaker I had no idea there was another meaning.

If you're gonna get on Mastodon, I would like to apologise in advance for being the guy responsible for posts being called "Toots". I thought it was funny. And it is, and it's even funnier that some people hate it. I take it back, I'm not sorry. Ha ha. Toots.
