Proposal for Mastodon: Trunky.

It’s bouncy and fun sounding with bright percussive phonemes. The “R” also gives it an energetic vibe.

Being a microblogging platform, it can both be a reference of how one truncates one’s messages, but also maintain the mammoth reference as well as sidelong imply the other definitions of ‘trunk’ which are also useful: a box where you keep stuff, and the central pathway from which other pathways branch.

You can keep calling the posts “toots” too.

However, I think “Favorites” should just be called Likes, or hell … updoots if you REALLY want to lean into the mascot.

If so, however, boosting and bookmarking should also be changed to align with the mascot.

Either call them Retoots … or Trumpets! And bookmarking can just be called “Remember” (because “Elephants Never Forget”)
