@ -4,7 +4,14 @@ Change the Mastodon "Publish!" buttons back to "Toot!"
## Backstory
The v4 release of Mastodon brought a lot of changes with it, including responsiveness rules and a completely different mobile interface, but the most significant one according to some people was renaming the "Toot!" button to "Publish!". This is of course better for newcomers because they can easily understand what it means, and one could argue that it's also more formal and professional. But many long-time Mastonauts are used to the "Toot!" button---it's what makes Mastodon *Mastodon!* If you fall in that category (or just support the idea that "Toot!" should be promoted more), this addon will help you bring the old "Toot!" button back!
It all started with [a toot](https://fosstodon.org/@Cledbetter/109351283152977736).
