Do NOT associate Mastodon stuff with that shit

What term constituted “mastodon stuff” to prompt your comment? Haven’t yet tried mastodon so just curious.

A guy pledged a bunch of money to the creator of Mastodon if he named the posts “toots”. So the name stuck and Mastodon got a bunch of server and development funds.
