As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.
How is Twitter a bad name? I immediately get the imagine of birds tweeting at each other which is exactly how twitter works, only that birds would probably say less stupid shit.
Maybe Mastodon can be renamed to Twitter?
Because lets be real, “Mastodon” isn’t that much better of a name than “X”
I don’t think Mastodon should change its name at this moment. But I can totally see an instance named Twitter. That would be very funny.
Did you think “Twitter” was a good name?
Because it’s not.
But it is. It’s brief, it is memorable enough and is unique (which also makes it googlable)
I don’t know if “Twitter” is better than “Mastadon”, but I know that “tweeting” is far better than “tooting”.
I just tooted while reading this.
