I know mastodon joked about not changing their name in their recent changelog but I wish they really did change it. It’s long, doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue and it’s difficult to pronounce in most languages.

End of rant.

Edit: above all I don’t think it’s a cool name. Can’t imagine asking my friends to follow me on Mastodon. They’re just gonna think it’s something dumb or weird. At least if it had a cool name they would be curious and ask what it’s about.

    Three syllables is too many? Your username has the same number of syllables. Many actual personal names have the same number of syllables. Three is the magic number.

    Mastodon is WAY cooler than your username, which looks like a misspelling of “tomato tool”.

    Masto sounds like slang for breast removal surgery.

      Well my username is just a username :) I wouldn’t name a microblogging social network like that.

      Have to agree with the breast surgery thing
