Why do people keep referring to X as Twitter?

It's a way of deadnaming the inanimate child musk actually cares about in the same way he deadnames his actual child he cares nothing about.

Actually, if the reason is to stick it to Moron Musk then I approve.

It's confusing when you call it X. X could mean pretty much anything. X marks the spot. Solve for x. Break up with your ex. Because X is one letter you cannot search for it. If you say Twitter it means only the social media website.

What's X?

I thought it was the letter marketing departments replace the sound "ct" with.

Oh look, another blanket statement that appeals to emotion without substance.

Articulate specifics on pressing issues or shut the actual fuck up. Anyone calling for silencing discussion is a coward with a weak, insecure worldview.

Regardless of who she is and who you think she is, the fact is she is correct in her assessment and there is a mountain of evidence to substantiate her claim, from her own country and the world over.

And this isn't exactly rocket science. Arguing that disinformation doesn't present a significant threat to our way of life is like arguing the world isn't round. There isn't really any debate on this in the scientific/expert community.

Settle down, this seems like rage bait. I'm going to give you a day to cool off.

Rule 6: Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it’s a major figure or a politician.

Thank you for pointing that out and then providing the link. People don't always read the sidebar. This also brings attention to it.

It chapps my ass that most clients obscure the rules and so it's really easy to forget to review them, especially if it's a community you rarely post to.

Thankfully, I haven't run into any reddit style mods on Lemmy... Yet.

Obv, this is a skill issue, but it's clear enough that it's not just me. I feel like there's a better way. Perhaps worthy of a feature request to the dev of my client (jebora).
