LOL. I didn't even know that was a thing until I saw Thomas Fuchs abandon twitter for Mastodon. How do you even pronounce it? Mas-to-don? Masto-don? It's a hideous name, lol.

This response to the name makes me want to ask you so many questions! Are you a US native? I've always taken it for granted that everyone learns about mastodons.

No, I'm not a natural born US native. I never thought about looking up the meaning of mastodon, but now that you've mentioned it, I'm surprised that I didn't know about it. Perhaps I was sleeping in class 😕. Actually, I don't recall studying about it. I know about Woolly mammoths though.
