Critical thinking is in limited supply, I love drops so much more than skeets which is like... why are you putting raisins in potato salad?

Drops is much better than skeeting, which sounds like a Canadian saying skating

But .. It should be sassying.

You Send a Signal, a SAS, through the sky for people to see.

Your friends ask what are you doing

Sassying.

Sassy you guys later

reply

philipmai.com•676 days ago

I think "Q" pretty much cornered the market on "drops". Maybe "Spark" or "Bolt" for an original post and a "Ripple" or "Pulse" for a reshare?

But, sadly, I think it's too late.. "Skeet" is probably going to be forever this app Boaty McBoatFace moment.

Hear me out, skeets, like skeet shooting. You launch them into the sky.

ottoflux.com•676 days ago

it’s awful and desperately mimicking twitter. we can do better.

(i know what sheet shooting is and have done it before)

it also sounds like a variant of scat (animal droppings)

reply

fleaslive.com•676 days ago

Maybe you’re right. Are you on board with skyline instead of timeline though?

reply

ottoflux.com•676 days ago

i think i’m open to that. it could grow on me.

reply

juan.co•676 days ago

This is a far better alternative than the madness that was suggested earlier. But, no.

Let’s keep it just “posts.”

We want this thing to go mainstream, right? 👋

Try ‘bleats’ and see how it feels?

I think @jay.bsky.team said that ‘skoots’ was used a few weeks back.

Bleats feels good.

I've been suggesting people use whatever verb they want, and the rest of us can figure it out by context.
