I’m not a native speaker so I don’t hear the fart association so much. But isn’t tooting also just what a trumpet or elephant does? In that way it makes sense. But I do think the terminology is a bit silly. Why not just “post” instead of toot? Why not just “repost” or “share” instead of “boost”? It feels a bit too much like corporate social media where every feature needs a “wacky and fun” name.
Can we all at least agree that “toots” is a terrible sounding term? It sounds like what happens when one of the poserpuff girls farts. She toots.

A toot is literally the sound of a birb. It’s got more comfy than “tweet” does.
