    There is a bigger history on this. Involving the Mastodon developer Gargon and a famous YouTuber Hbomberguy:

    Gargon, at that time wasn’t aware of the double meaning, as they where non-native English speaker.

    It got changed back to “publish” relatively recent.

    Personally I liked “toot” it was unique and funny. Many Mastodon-Users still prefer or use “toot”.
