This is the tiny hill I'm prepared to die on. You lot can play soggy biscuit to your heart's content in your skeet circle, but count me out. I'll be over here posting, thankyouverymuch ;)
i think it's very juvenile and nasty but it seems to make everyone else very happy so far be it from me to try and change it. "skeet" away (i could hardly bring myself to type that)
You can always pretend it refers to shooting off those little clay disks in skeet shooting.
But then, posting to a firing squad of asshole reply guys trying to shoot your thoughts down is more of a Twitter thing.
I’m sticking with “posting,” because it can be the same across all platforms and doesn’t require me to remember which one I’m on, even though I am usually only on this one. Also, I just don’t want to use “skeet.”
Like some drugs:
Tried it, didn’t like it, not doing again.
It took me embarrassingly long to realize skeet is a portmanteau of sky tweet. I thought it was just some new Gen Z slang at first. Sounds like something they'd say.
I respect the old ways but it feels like when Canada tries to something Americans do, derivative of tweet, sorry. I know I don’t get a vote as a newbie but I would have voted for Drops, like rain anyway. Good to be here :)
Someone tell @hankgreen.bsky.social because he's said he's calling it "tweets" on every platform, and seemed very upset to find out they're skeets here.
(And to answer Hank's question, yes, everyone knows what it means, and also mgmt tried to stop it, but the people overruled them)
No offense, but we outnumber you, figurative boomer. The cruel hand of exponential growth comes down to impart justice, and rid the land of “sk**t” once and for all.
Doesn’t have to be tweet, tho. How about post?? Transmit? Commit? Shout?
I was here when @illumi.meme sorcelled skeets into being.
It would have been a passing fad but Jay resisted, and thus it became a point of pride in those innocent days, back when we let Jake Tapper rode freely here.
We don't care what people call it, we care about people insisting it can't be skeets. That's toxic bootlicking and policing behavior. So when someone insists it can't be skeets, it MUST be skeets.

we all know the feeling.

Bl + tweet
B + tweet
Blu + post
Bl + post
B + post
Some fun stuff will result.
(And any of them will be better than skeet.)

I hate it. It sounds stupid.

It's just sky + tweet, but in the other place, tweet had a natural meaning. Skeet just feels forced.
Still.
