Mastodon and X both switched to “posts”. Toots was the old name.

Which has been the correct name since before Twitter existed. You can also use "message", or "comment" if its in reply to something else.

Yep, and didn't work.

In what way? I haven’t seen someone say “toot” in a very long time. Tweet I did but that was arguably more entrenched in pop culture over the years.

I guess it depends on what community/bubble are you in. Many fediverse users I know have always been, and will always be tooting.
