 When I first heard of Mastodon and saw their logo, the first thing came to mind was “extinct social media” 

I thought… why would anyone name themselves after something that went extinct? 

That view cemented itself in my mind. 
 Coz they're stupid. 
 😂 
 Their posts are called toots. Literally farts. 
 😂 I thought it was weird when I heard of it too 
 Oh man … 
 🐘💨 
 A lot of apps changed it to post or publish because Toot is a cocaine reference.  
 It's a rock band 
 Damn, crushing my dream for a client named Tyrannosaurus. 😭
 
 You know where the word Mastodon comes from? From  greek μαστός (nipple) and ὀδούς (tooth) because these animals had a kind of nipple at their molar teeth. This is even weirder 🤣  
 Don’t have time to verify wow if that’s true 😂 
 Also it is a pain in the ass to use, tons of infighting with federations and full or libtards who are angry they can't moderate more than they do by black listing entire other groups.   When the left departed Twitter in mass after Elon all the liberal factions banned each other on Mastodon.  😂   Then sat there bored with no one to talk to or argue with.
