Sure, I've definitely seen that. But that wasn't one of the author's complaints. Instead there was the rather strange complaint:

> People relentlessly calling Twitter the “birdsite”

Twitter users have been calling Twitter the birdsite since forever, so I don't get the criticism of Mastodon. Maybe now though we'll start calling it the dogsite.

Also, who even cares if it's called the "birdsite?" The author is upset about that one word?

And then there's Tumblr users, who affectionately refer to their own digital home as the "hellsite".
