xTwitter

This isn't a shower thought

Twitter is no worse today than five years ago. But it’s certainly also no better. The discussion about which billionaires we want manipulating public discourse is outright insanity

I don't want to call it X because it's a shit shit shit name

Twitter was always bad. It is of course way worse now, but it is silly to have any nostalgic and reverential feelings for it.

I hadn't been there in a long while, but a friend sent a link to what he said was a funny tweet. It was, but the responses were just awful, and they all had blue checkmarks.

Every single inserted ad was for right-wing grifts (crypto, t-shirts, gold coins, etc) or awful right-wing politicians looking angry or posing with guns.

Noped right out.

I pointed it out to my wife, but she says the journalists she follows are still all there. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Previously, it was a shithole.
Now, it's a Nazi shithole.

Xcrement. It's called Xcrement.

I present: Xitter

Calling twix, or xitter! You can also call it Elon's X (he has many exes, so this one fits in)

I mean lets not overdo it the algorithms were becoming very trash before it was bought up but it was usable. Peak twitter was like 2017

Hey, don't rewrite history - twitter was always notoriously bad, under Elon it surely got even worse though.

There is simple solution: just ignore it. Don't refer to it in any way.

They have $44 billion dollar bills to wipe away the tears.

Sorry twitter was always trash

Can we start calling it Bluesky?

For me, it’s simpler than that: I’m gonna deadname his company as long as he keeps deadnaming his daughter

Mmh... nope, don't care, my neurons has already a "twitter" thing in memory, devoting 0 additional effort in anything related to that thing

I don't understand why anyone would care this much about a social media website

Those people sold it to musk. They were tech bros whose goal from the start was to get a massive buyout and bail. They don't deserve your respect anymore than musk does.
