Maybe that’s what my grandkids will think is old fashioned about me. “They’s been posts since BBS and they’ll stay posts!” permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] dbilitated@aussie.zone 21 points 3 years ago I think personal micro-blogging (mastodon) and posting forum-style topics (reddit) can have different words? permalink fedilink source parent [–] audaxdreik@pawb.social 15 points 3 years ago (1 child) The original post was at least half joking in tone, but in seriousness, I think there's an argument to be made that "posts" applies to topical threads. Threads that originate with a piece of content like a link or self post and that all following discussion is at least tangentially related. I'd call them posts here on Lemmy for that. Tweets, however, often originate out of thin air, be it someone's head or ass. When someone says, "Kanye West 'tweeted' " you've already determined about how seriously you're going to take it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cube6392@beehaw.org 14 points 3 years ago So tweets will be the generic term for short top level posts that aren't responding to anything? permalink fedilink source parent
