Toot refers to any post which you publish on Mastodon. Just the way you Tweet on Twitter, similarly, what you post on Mastodon is called Toot. It’s a part of Mastodon Lingo. So there should not be any confusion in your mind. Posts, Tweets, and Toots are one and the same thing, just that you use a different name on different social media platforms for all these things.
It is for the sake of clarity. Let’s say someone saw a post saying XYZ thing. You must ask where you saw that post. But if you say, I read a Tweet; it is well understood you are talking about Twitter. This is something people identify with which social media platform you are talking about.
