The best example of a terrible "rebranding", but thank God, the platform is going down

I've yet to try Bluesky, and Twitter wasn't exactly the beacon of human decency or anything, but I feel like Bluesky in its current state is less of a refuge for actual human communication, and more just brands trying to find a less toxic platform to endlessly-positively-organically-brandvertise on.

Mastodon can feel a lot more slow, but also as a person it feels a lot less like whispering into the void.

As a person trying to market though, I suppose I'd probably make a Bluesky account... or...begrudgingly...a Xitter account...ughhhh....

That's funny because I use it and I have yet to see a brand on there. It's just mostly pleasant people talking.

Does elon still own the twitter trademark?

Couldnt we just make a new site and call it twitter and make it the same as twitter used to be?

It would really piss on his ego.

trademarks have to be protected and used. Its likely you could reasonably win a trademark battle with him since he's rebranded

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

It would still have to be some sort of social media site but I think so, yeah. The point of trademarks is to make sure you don't confuse consumers. In theory you could make a restaurant called Twitter and be fine.

If he's actually serious he should also sell the domain so someone could host a mastodon instance on it
