I havent been on that website at all, but i was linked to a subreddit(another site i havent used in a long time), called "BlueskySkeets" or something and at first i was like what does that mean. Then i realized it must be like Tweets+sky? Is that actually what they're called? That just sounds so ridiculous lol.

skeets sounds like those smears of shit on pant lol

Skid marks would be the proper term

apparently it’s a dirty word so add that to the ridiculous bar of ridiculousness

Uh, wikipedia

The noun skeet in Newfoundland and Labrador English is considered to be a pejorative epithet - it is used as a stereotype to describe someone who is ignorant, aggressive, and unruly, with a pattern of vernacular use of English, drug and alcohol use, and who is involved in petty crime. "Skeet" is very similar to the word "chav" used in the UK.[1]

Problematic name for a tweet
