moots
Makes no longer relevant
Moots is internet slang for mutuals—people who follow each other on social media.
The term emerged from "mutuals" → "moots," creating a casual, affectionate shorthand: My moots are so supportive, Any moots want to join?
Common on platforms like Twitter and Tumblr.
Separately, moots is the plural of moot (a debatable point) and the third-person singular of the verb moot (to raise for discussion, or to render irrelevant).
