Per screenshots of the "skeet" = As can be understood from screenshots of the post, also known as a "skeet"
as folks on the butterfly app = (a name that) users of Bluesky
are wont to call their posts... = like to call their posts...
"Skeet" being a combination of "sky" and "tweet", which I hope you can figure out the origins of, and also a somewhat dirty word that the owners of Bluesky would really prefer people didn't use as the non-generic name for posts on their platform, but is also disturbingly accurate if you compare the conceptually similar word "disseminate" for the spreading of information.
I should probably have separated the above into two sentences somewhere.
