Also I'm sorry but like there's a very high correlation between insisting they be called 'skeets' and being one of the least funny motherfuckers on the planet
I'm with you and Hank Green on this. "Tweet" has been genericized and all short, many-to-all posts should be called tweets. Same with "retweeting". It's different than "reposting" (no attribution) https://youtu.be/NyV54qfSZwg?si=Se35Qh1quOMo3xjg
I'm 45 and posts is the term I commonly use. But then I wouldn't be averse, as it's Bluesky and it's nice here, to using the term "Bloot." 🤣 Dunno if anybody else has thought of it, but if not you heard it here first. 🤣

I'm calling #BlueSky posts #Clouds.
Angels sit on Clouds and even though not all of us are Angels 😈, when you compare to what's left at X, we do pretty well.
I would also accept "missives".
(I don’t actually care that much though)
"Pardon?"
"This missive"
"What's a missive?"
"A post"
"Oh, why didn't you just say Post then?"
