i have a very silly python script that replaces the following words in the mastodon UI:

  • toot, post -> shit
  • boost -> yeet
  • publish -> toot (no, i don't know why this is here. it doesn't seem to have an effect.)

if you're thinking this sounds drastically unfunny, you'd be right. it stopped being funny a few days after i implemented it circa 2021. however, i keep it around because paradoxically, the less funny and more immature it seems, and the more it annoys me, the more i find it "meta-funny", in a "ha-ha, i'm annoying myself on purpose" kind of way.

with all of that in mind: the script predates the quote toot feature. what should i rename "quote" to in the UI?

(i am NOT going to rename it "quit" as a portmanteau of quote + shit for obvious reasons)
