Lol, I’ll never refer to Twitter as X. How silly.

nossaquesapao ,

I always refer to it as X, to remember people that the twitter they knew is long dead

Haha, fair

laughterlaughter ,

But that’s what Elon wants, and fuck that guy.

Twitter or Xitter for me. Maaaaybe X (formerly known as Twitter), but never X alone.

Especially because it’s a fucking confusing name in a tech space. I swear I thought the headline referred to X Window at first.

nossaquesapao , (edited )

Well, in my experience, calling it Twitter or any variation helps people stay in negation about the fact that Twitter is dead, and calling it x makes people more likely to open their eyes and delete their account, and losing users is what really hurts musk. I already helped all the people from my close friends circle to move out from that shit.

laughterlaughter ,

I guess both actions have ups and downs.

To me, calling it Twitter reminds me of the shitty shit Twitter has ever been. I never liked the thing. I vividly remember when BBC started quoting random tweets - it made me a little sick. Then all news outlets followed suit.

And if Elon hates it that people call it Twitter, then even better!

Jourei ,

I’ve been plotting to exclusively talk of x as if it was some brand new microblogging site where you pay for the entire thing and it’s userbase and administration is kinda unhinged.

ohwhatfollyisman ,

you do know that you are technically dead-naming, right?

Aw, do you think Twitter is a person? How cute. No, dead naming only applies to people obviously.

laughterlaughter ,

This is why the right makes fun of the left.

Though I just hope you were joking.

FinalRemix ,

The right makes fun of the left because the right has no valid platform.

laughterlaughter ,

I’m not talking about elections.

FinalRemix ,

I’m not either.

laughterlaughter ,

Oh.

SynopsisTantilize ,

Yea corporations have feelings and are sentient creatures too! These fucking people above you don’t understand how insensitive it is to not correctly call a company by its proper identity. If Twitter wants to identify as X it can do so.

Just as Windows can Identify as Windows 11 but it’s really just NT underneath. Or kinda how Prince purposely changed his name to fuck over record labels. He identified as someone else but was really the same character and song writer. Kinda like how GMC is Chevy is Cadillac is Pontiac is geo and Buick. Or radio shack renaming themselves “the shack”. Or how Nissan was Datsun. Or Pizza Hut with their “the hut” Name change, still sold the same pizza.

I started this as me attempting to be contrarian towards you…but I kinda came full circle on this one for myself lmao. Swing so hard left I came back around to the right. (My point, not my entire political opinions)

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said his estranged transgender daughter was “killed” by the “woke mind virus” after he was tricked into agreeing to gender-affirming care procedures.

“I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead.” eu.usatoday.com/story/tech/2024/…/74506785007/

So glad I left Reddit and Twitter behind, I need to get my family over to the Fediverse and off Facebook and Instagram now.

merde ,

good luck with that

Psychodelic ,

Hey now, maybe their entire family consists of nerds and trans chicks

Auzy ,

Yeah. No such thing as moderation on Facebook anymore. I’ve reported porn, abuse and a lot of other things. Never gets removed…

And it basically has emboldened the worst people in society because they know nothing will get done

PNW_Doug ,
@PNW_Doug@lemmy.world avatar

It’s pronounced “xitter.”

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

It’s written Xitter. It’s pronounced Shitter.

laughterlaughter ,

Alternative pronunciation: Shittier.

I hadn’t logged into my Twitter account in over a year. When I finally did recently, I simply shared a link to my Mastodon account. A few days later, I went to check a Twitter link, only to find my account had been banned…

sunzu ,

But they can't ban bots from spamming shit

exu ,

My account was banned for some reason, no idea really. Wrote to support to unban me so I could delete it, they did and I delete the account.

trolololol ,

Greatest recipe ever to close my account.

jsomae ,

Please call it Twitter in the title unless there’s a good reason not to. I thought this was Xorg.

ikidd ,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

How would that make any sense in that context?

FlorianSimon ,

It doesn’t but X in some people’s mind is not the fascist hellhole but is Xorg, and will forever stay that way.

Psychodelic ,

Sorry but what the hell is xorg? Is that another place like 4chan or something

PanArab ,
@PanArab@lemmy.ml avatar

Can’t tell if sarcasm or not. Here you go anyway en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System

rickyrigatoni ,

www.xquartz.org

:)

jsomae ,

The full title on close parsing doesn’t make sense in xorg context. But “X kills its <unix os> app” initially had my brain trying to figure out what people were running X on mac.

PanArab ,
@PanArab@lemmy.ml avatar

I used to when I had a Mac.

dizzy ,
@dizzy@lemmy.ml avatar

Haven’t done it in ages but I used to run xquartz on a macbook and do x window forwarding from my desktop. It worked surprisingly well, even on remote sessions via an ssh tunnel.

I don’t have much reason to do it nowadays because laptops are so much more powerful and storage is so cheap that the stuff I was doing can all be done locally.

bountygiver ,

it’s better to call it X this way, we need to accept twitter is never coming back, and it’s high time users still on it to migrate.

InternetUser2012 ,

I won’t give the dbag the satisfaction of calling it anything but twitter.

trolololol ,

I can do that but I’m guilty of occasionally calling it twatter

jsomae ,

“The platform formerly known as Twitter”?

It wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t the fact that he’s trying to lay claim to 1/26th of the English alphabet

trolololol ,

Haha you got click baited.

Let me find you a link that is not related to Rick Astleigh

VanHalbgott ,

I use an iPad, but not X or Twitter…go figure.

Owljfien ,

I actually interpreted this as X as in X11 window system and was very confused for a bit

ReakDuck ,

Same…

Why are people still using a site bought and run by a guy supporting the rise of Christian fascism solely for the purposes of getting tax breaks on his ill-gotten billions?
