Another reminder not to use Twitter. It's not worth it. Mastodon is better.

Could not have picked a worse name for a social network.
Are you talking about Twitter or Mastodon? Many company and product names are awkward before they become mainstream.
Twitter is light hearted. Mastodon sounds like obscure metal band
who cares, this is the ultimate in bike shedding.

there's never a discussion on HN where someone brings up a product without this asinine comment about its name.

btw Mastodon is great software and it has a great name and branding. It's all subjective.
