Ok, here's an important question.
What do we call posts on this site?
● Skeets
● Blues
● Flutters
● Posts
Or something else?

Is cheers an OK reply to a toast?
Posts is sound - but that's what dimwit has rebranded tweets
Or comments
Or replies
*Ive been on so many platforms since the days of AOL & Netscape I’m passed caring 😉🤣
It won't be these specific blerbs or skadjectives, but you skeet what I'm skying.
Posts works well but “freedom of speech” call them whatever you wish 😊

Not using it just because an idiot also uses it is still being influenced by him, surely.
Does that make a single [tweet] a "blue"?
It might be confused with a dye, an unmentionable act, - or a Norse parrot.
I'm taking a leaf out of your book, though, and going my own way, regardless. I'm calling them "wisdoms".
TWiTTer -> TWeeT (cuts suffix, lengthens vowel): utilising an existing word
/
BLueSKy > BLue??"T"?? (cuts 2nd half of compound noun, adds ... a 100% factitious T): inventing a garbage word
😉
👍
Let's just call them Ottos & be done with it.
Skeet… good grief no!
“OK, you’ll have to nip out for some more Swarfega, though.”
👏🏼👏🏼
j/k
I proposed "blasts" to wotd-bot, but that's a closely-held secret :D
'Skeet' that was popular on here, has an Urban Dictionary definition for 'ejaculation onto someone'.
But it will be posts.
Don't care as long as I don't have to visit the other place again.
Peace and love 💖
It shouldn't rhyme with it, be some kind of portmanteau involving it or in anyway relate to it.
Distance is required at the point.

Quite often they mutate or just die.
Clouds makes good sense.
Take the sentence “I’m gonna go post a Tweet” and then replace “tweet” with “cloud” and tell me how that doesn’t sound stupid as hell lol
Tweeting became a verb but it’s erroneous.
Anyway. This is not a hill I will die on. I don’t really care.
And we all know what it means…
Just a Google has become a byword for "search the internet" tweet has become a by word for "posting to a microblogging site".
For eg "My skue on that twat, Farage"

Although, I vote for reclaiming tweets.
Nah, it's posts. Everyone is already referring to them as posts. It has reached critical mass.
Isn't the answer in your question?
Don't Google Teen Skeet by the way.
Just stick with 'post' is my advice.

It's how the armed forces refer to the prepaid aerograms they use to write to loved ones when they are overseas.
Soon that term will be all that's left of Twitter/ X
Prepare to be bullied for daring to suggest it should be anything else than the word skeets that the goons of something awful bullied through when it was a low user base.
* never head it
* interesting… but no
* yes
#bleats
So probably posts
Let’s just steal what he gave away.
So it remains a Skeet for me.
Even Bluesky folk call posts "posts"
Skeet seems a little too elitist here
The skeet folk on Bluesky appear mostly as early adopters & to many who signed up after the invite-only period, skeet seems makes no sense 🤷♂️
Everyone to their own I guess
Guano if you're being upmarket.
*It comes from a starting of the internet thing
Can't remember if Digg tried not calling them posts, but I'm fairly unusual in that I recall Digg at all

Bit of a portmanteau between flutter and tweet.
Butterfly 🦋 + Bird 🐦
It was “Skeets” [(Blue)Sk(tw)eets] when I fist joined up but it was dying out
It’s just posts nowadays
Even Vorders agrees!!! 🤗
OTTO?
Much like "meme" has become another common word in every day usage.
ie butterflights?
Skeeter 😬😱
Now we've sorted that, can we get back to the whole Schleswig-Holstein palaver?
And this is a "cheer"
Cheers
