Im breaking up with this x and moving in with mastodon.
Worlds richest man whinges about snarky comment made by a professional troll millionaire on an internet forum. The news is next...
Man if I used elmos app I would so call it twitter, but thankfully I don't
I don't care enough to try tbh
My grandmother called Kmart Kresge's until the day she died
Lmao hilarious this bloke
Insert grandpa captain America meme
Hurrdedurr, I'm conservative and I make trans jokes! Me so clever!
Why do I feel he’s deadnaming his daughter, in the rare times they speak to each other?
When your trans daughter disowns you, and your remarks are anti trans, how the fuck are you not dead naming her.
I would be so shocked to find out he wasn't.
He really shouldn't get to rename it to X for two reasons:
First it shouldn't be up to the whims of one idiot, millions of people use that and it's just annoying for no good reason. Social media needs more democratic governance from the users. They shouldn't be the product, they should be shareholders.
Second it's a name that "harms" language because X is used for many other things so it increases confusion and block out other meaning. It's just a shit name that now we're forced to use because of some plutocrat.
So yeah I think people should absolutely keep using twitter no matter what. As an act of disobedience against the rule of plutocrats. Or of course, just always crosspost and refer to mastadon instead.
name that now we're forced to use because of some plutocrat.
no one is forcing you to call it X instead of Twitter
Or of course, just always crosspost and promote mastadon instead.
"As posted on the subpar alternative to Mastadon: X"
Another right-winger who self-owned thinking they'd do a clever script flip.
I know right!
We should exclusively call it "Twitter (called X by Elon Musk)".
Just call it twitter.com
Yep. That's a good option. Another options is to refer to it as "the platform formerly known as Twitter". (There's an Ars Technica journalist who consistently does this, without mentioning 'x'.) Another option is to just not talk about the site at all, and leave it alone to rot.
Or "the platform formerly, and still, known as Twitter".
It won't rot as long as its still used by politicians in the USA use for their bullshit ramblings.
I like calling it X. It means I can call tweets Xcrement
Xitter is also acceptable in my book .
X is a letter and not the name of something.
Malcolm frowns upon your shenanigans.
it's important to remember that elon musk is a 50 year old man which makes it even sadder
Now why would we stop calling Twitter, Twitter?
