I havent been on that website at all, but i was linked to a subreddit(another site i havent used in a long time), called “BlueskySkeets” or something and at first i was like what does that mean. Then i realized it must be like Tweets+sky? Is that actually what they’re called? That just sounds so ridiculous lol.

    They should call them “bleets”. It sounds like “bleat”, which the noise made by the average fauxdiverse user.

      Skid marks would be the proper term

      Uh, wikipedia

      The noun skeet in Newfoundland and Labrador English is considered to be a pejorative epithet - it is used as a stereotype to describe someone who is ignorant, aggressive, and unruly, with a pattern of vernacular use of English, drug and alcohol use, and who is involved in petty crime. “Skeet” is very similar to the word “chav” used in the UK.[1]

      Problematic name for a tweet
