When I post a "status" on Twitter, that's a Tweet.
When I write something on Telegram, that's a message.
... and on Whatsapp, that's a message as well.
When I upload a photo to Instagram, that's an Insta. (I think that's what the cool kids call it. I don't use it)
... on Reddit, that's a post.
... on Hacker News, that's a post.
In Stacker News I click a link that says "post" to post, so I assume that's what it's called here. Or is there something brand-specific (along the lines of what a "Tweet" is to Twitter, and an "Insta" is to Instagram) that might work here?
I call it a post but maybe it could be something else. I'm open to recommendations. What is the atom of Stacker News? The problem is the format is variable (link or discussion and more in the future) so the noun needs to be vague.
