The mastodon version of a post or, sadly, tweet.
It’s, uh, not the best name.
But maybe, just maybe, it more appropriately attributes correct value to a social media thing. ;)
Most people these days refer to them as posts, toots is older Mastodon linguo.

When Twitter launched, they used "post" instead of "tweet". Tweet was a word created by the community.
TIL - thanks!
Mastodon devs were clearly aware of the quality of text people tend to write online. It’s a very fitting term IMO.
