      The childish censorship of names of people and things has been one of my biggest internet bug bears over the last few years.

        to be fair, the word Mastodon was being censored on Twitter at one point, but doesn’t mean the other way happens in the Fediverse.

        ‘The site formerly known as twitter’

        The unpleasantly long name just makes it funnier imo

          “TSFKAT”.

          Fewer letters than “Twitter”, expresses more than “X”.

          I have seen worse names (“X Æ A-12”) get more eyeballs.

      I literally saw it everywhere on Mastodon, like, I honestly never saw anyone say it directly, just “birdsite” or a censored version. So I adapted to be polite. And sometimes forget which form of fediverse I’m posting on.
