I still feel like the terminology around "notes" has room for improvement.

"Tweet" is the apotheosis of social media terminology; it's a word unused outside describing birds which makes it a blank canvas for usage to describesomething else. It is both a thing and an action, and it serves as a metaphor all at once.

"Truth" is the worst. It is contrived and too loaded with meaning to represent something so trivial as any short text note. It calls into question the validity of every note as it begs the question "is this actually truth?" It is a contentious term and overbearing, while also strange to say. It's trying to make fetch happen.

So with that in mind, maybe we can find a better word than note. Or maybe note will become adopted and widespread with time.

@Johns from Peak Shift Ltd. was a "noost" maximalist if I remember correctly ๐Ÿ˜†

Crazy idea: what if we just steal "tweet" and use it instead of "note" on nostr? We could open-source the term? Xitter doesn't lay claim to it anymore anyway, do they? nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m thoughts/permission? ๐Ÿ˜†
