I've said it before Mastadon is an awful name. No-one knows it's an animal. It just sounds like Don mastrubating with a fat mast.
Maybe we don't want people who have never paid enough attention to learn what a mastodon is on Mastodon. It's not THAT obscure of an animal.
Weren't they going to bring them back in Siberia before the Ukraine war broke out.

Naming Fediverse apps after rock icons is a cool thing. If only PeerTube was called Dream Theater (well, before Petrucci "gave a chance" to Trump).
He what?!

Wow. I mean I don't have a lot of faith in people, but you honestly believe the majority does not know what a mastodon is?
Mastodon, the metal band. That's all I hear.
Why is it still being called "Mastadon" doesn't it go only with an o?
