One of the things this site has going for it is that there's obvious and catchy verb that isn't riff on "tweet." The Bluesky people are calling their post a "skeet." Gross.

"Cast," the other hand, is so good. It harkens to older analog media, like broadcasting. It also makes me think of fishing, as in casting a rod to see what bites. That also feels like an apt metaphor.

Word is @dwr.eth  and @v were fishing the Madison when Dan whipped out the fish whistle —boom, a fat trout nailed Varun’s line. They cracked up, and V’s like, “bro, what if we cast far out ideas online and hook randos?” Dan’s all, “Far cast, baby.” Farcaster was born.
