A bit of info to those #newhere:

The fediverse consists of a heterogenous mix of platforms/software that all speak to each other. They come in different shapes and sizes, and with different focus. While Mastodon is by far the most used software it is luckily not the only one. Your messages here are not called anything in particular. "Message", "post", "comment" etc work just fine. We don't need, and don't want ad-like branding of everyday concepts here.

So be inclusive and embrace the full fediverse! Avoid terms that only apply to one implementation.

Thanks, and a big weclome to you all!
