This is ostensibly a (tech!) startup incubator forum. So it’s a lot of extraordinarily technical and business-savvy people.

It doesn’t take much experience with marketing to cringe at the idea of branding a post a “toot”.

Frankly that decision turned me off to the whole project because it casts doubt on all their other decisions. I’m glad they moved away from it but that definitely harmed adoption.
