Okay folks. Very serious question for all of Bluesky. Are we still calling them 'Skeets' or are we just calling them 'Tweets'?

I just say posts. Nice general purpose term as multiple social media groups begin to use the infrastructure underpinning Bluesky for their own services.

I just call them tweets or posts. Skeets just seemed like "lol do you get it"

I just call them posts. Never liked the word "Skeet" because of the sexual innuendo it's connected with.

Interchangably. I often say "posts" for a more universal term. I will use "skeets" for comedic effect.

Vee, The VGM Lover @thevgmlover.bsky.social

The site audience started saying "skeets" as an inside joke of some kind, but due to its apparent meaning, it was NEVER going to stick for too long. It's just posts here. I do wish the site itself was able to come up with SOME kind of play on the word Post though.

Mini miau miau @minitourm37.bsky.social

I've disconnected skeet from its sexual meaning at this point Because like, tbh, I've heard it used in that context... twice, ever? But skeet just means post now for me. I think it's dumb, but that's why I love it. Skeet!!
