I’ll call it twitter until twitter.com is a different website

FMEEE ,

He fired to much people to recode every single dependency.

Bahnd ,

I go with “The website formerly known as Twitter” mostly for the Prince bit…

Sabata11792 ,

I mean, that is what corpo media calls it, so it’s correct enough.

interdimensionalmeme ,

Don’t call it, this place is irrelevant, just don’t mention it anymore, only idiots, normies and boomers are left

Tja ,

“Only the vast majority of the population are left” is a weird argument to make.

oyo ,

Dude literally bought Kleenex and insists you call it facial tissue paper.

nickwitha_k ,

Nah. He bought Kleenex and insists that you call it 42 because it’s a cool number.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

He’ll call it Nexes

TropicalDingdong ,

I still don’t use twitter

Neon ,

deadnames?

Like, something with AEX12? Pretty sure it doesn’t mean he has an actual dead child

Using a trans person’s original name when they’ve chosen a new one

Neon ,

Thanks for actually answering and not just downvoting like some toxic fucks in here. It seems that not even Lemmy is immune from social media’s toxicity.

masterofn001 ,

Sometimes people just assume that when someone asks a question that seems obvious to them, the person asking the question HAS to be a troll/bad person.

Also, you’re missing a flag.

Neon ,

Also, you’re missing a flag.

Yeah I know. Problem is: I am a classical liberal in the original, European sense: I don’t care, do whatever makes you happy.

I have no idea which flag supports what. And even if I did: I have heard of “infighting”, so I am scared that my “I support every single one of you” flag gets taken over by some “but not that group” group and I wouldn’t notice and then have a hate-flag on it.

So, since I can’t guarantee I will take the right flag and update it accordingly, I just won’t.

rekorse ,

To be fair your question was phrased a bit confusingly. It was hard to tell if you were asking clarification or supporting Elon in some strange way.

watersnipje ,

He has a transgender daughter, whom he still calls by her old, male name. Calling a trans person by their old name that they no longer use, is called deadnaming.

Snowclone ,

Oh boy. No he has a male to female transgender child, who he intentionally calls by their given name at birth, Also he really switched over to being conservative and anti-trans after said child came out to him. Usually parents go the other way, but he went the extreme hate direction and has seemingly said his child is dead to him.

Corporations are not people. They do not have a sense of identity. They do not deserve the same rights as humans. They are not capable of being affected by things like gender dysphoria. A corporation does not have feelings and is only a word we use to describe a collective form of actions made by ACTUAL humans.

You literally can not deadname a company. But Elon should understand the hypocrisy none the less.

Lightor ,

I agree with you, but then there’s this, which is silly.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_personhood

Tylerdurdon ,

I was following various folks on there but never much posted.

Then, a couple weeks ago they implemented some kind of “live” feature that started spamming notifications like crazy. The only way to disable it was to disable user notifications, which means Twitter went totally quiet for me.

I’ve checked in a couple times in the interim, but looks like I’m pretty much done with that app. I guess it was Elon’s next step on the path to destroying Twitter.

lugal ,

What about his child? The one with the name that qualifies as a good password?

Haha, funny. This guy thinks he can tell me what to do.

Hikermick ,

Musk-chan?

Musk-tan

expatriado ,

don’t worry, i don’t mention either name

I will absolutely not call it anything but twitter

mechoman444 ,

Asking out of genuine curiosity how would one go about moderating or restricting deadnaming on Twitter from an applicable technical perspective?

rekorse ,

Might not be popular but you dont want to restrict that type of stuff in tech, because people very quickly and easily find ways around it, usually by using new similar words that call back to the prohibited ones.

This is an area where moderation is key, and I think people might need to reconsider who they allow to send them direct messages. Especially I expect there to be a better way to vet someone who is trying to directly reach a stranger.

If you are literally going to open your door to the whole world some bad stuff will fall in, but you dont have to let them into your private areas just because they made it in the front door.

Trust networks are another idea, essentially verifying new people through acquaintances.

sandbox ,

The same way that we deal with every other thing that social media platforms restrict. You make it against the rules and then enforce them. If you’re feeling fancy you could program some heuristics to determine the likelihood of a message containing deadnames - for example, maintain a list of common targets, look for people tagging them or related hashtags in tweets containing their dead name, and use sentiment analysis, to determine whether those messages should be subject to moderator approval before appearing publicly.

dejected_warp_core ,

I agree with the other responses you have here.

I’ll add one observation: the more petty the censorship, the bigger the backlash. People in general loathe that kind of behavior, and internet geeks with a vivid collective memory of being bullied by people like this? Oh, you reap the whirlwind in such cases.

Twitter twitter twitter, you asshole

SurfinBird ,

Can we call it Twix

helpImTrappedOnline ,

No, thats a candy bar. Love it or hate it, there’s no need drag a candy bar’s name into this shit.

Aurenkin ,

Is it a candy bar…or is it two candy bars?

Since they’re two for me and none for you, I’d say two, but masquerading as one.

This is a question philosophers have pondered for centuries.
