Musk is an overpaid idiot, but anyone has to expect not to have any real rights on any website.

krigo666 ,

The guy should ask for @xoriginal…

FourPacketsOfPeanuts ,

What short, catchy username did Musk’s company change Hwang’s handle to? @x12345678998765.

That’s some really !funnyandsad material…

ziggurat ,

Sounds like someone trying to type a random number on the keyboard, looking at it, and thinking, what ever

FourPacketsOfPeanuts ,

It’s not even random, it’s counting 1 to 9 and then down again to 5. Seems like even less effort lol. It’s either patronising in a show off kind of way or just dumb. Either way… just wow.

It could have been worse.

They could have named him “X Æ A-12” 😵‍💫

I'm not sure what you are trying to do with this link, the two x accounts are not the same....

AlaskaMan ,

Reportedly Twitter changed the guy’s X account to that one.

@Arnj@kbin.social avatar

I think we're talking past each other, the x who lost his account (I think) is now x12345678998765 the post behind the link was made by the account x12345678908765 they are not the same account, so the link does neither disprove nor prove the article in the main post which makes the comment by sam just useless and deceiving

AlaskaMan ,

Ah, you’re correct. Cheers.

I don't think that's the original account.

jbrains ,

0 is not 9. Look closely.

errer ,

As much as this sucks, this person has no rights to their name and never did. Stop using the platform and giving it attention!

li10 ,

Yeah, it’s not like they ever bought that name from Twitter so there’s no real argument that they actually own it, even if they’d ever bought the checkmark BS.

Money and a rename would have been a goodwill gesture, and expecting any goodwill from this version of twitter is insanity.

anteaters ,

Haha, me calling it dumb to think they’d be owed money is getting people super angry.

Being downvoted is not indicative of voters’ anger. It’s simply showing they don’t agree with you.

Pulling the victim card is revealing a shit-ton about you tho.

anteaters ,

So what do users not agree to in my post but do with in this?

Also, what a fucking Reddit thing to do.

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.world avatar

Crying reddit croc tears in no way helps your cause.

anteaters ,

I don’t have a “cause”. But I see that you have no answer.

Pika ,

I see why people use downvoting this way, especially since that was the norm on reddit which a good portion of the base fled from, I find the same issue I had with downvotes on reddit to apply here as well though. I try to advocate down votes to be not out of personal opinion, but a reflection that the content is either useless or harmful to the existing conversation. This allows posts that are actually useful and contribute to the discussion to exist even if they are unpopular to peoples opinion. Just because you don’t like the post, doesn’t mean the post isn’t true or useful, which is why I find that form of downvoting ideology to be harmful overall.

That being said, I would find the parent comment you replied to as constructive to the conversation…Up until they started egging people on with “is getting people super angry” I wouldn’t call this being downvoted for not agreeing, I would call it being downvoted for not being constructive to the post at hand(as there’s no need to actively try to get people to rage at you with a post like that)

I don’t think anyone is saying they are owed money. But just taking the handle with nothing in return is really not nice.

They could at least give the guy like Twitter Blue for life or whatever the heck premium is called now.

grandkaiser ,

Is that not what the title says? Like, i’m new to Lemmy so maybe i’m confused? Didn’t OP write “He got no money from it :(” in the title?

badnew ,

I swear to god fucking Elon Musk googled “cool website name generator” before changing it

Pika ,

I think it’s more likely he googled “Call of Duty Username prefix generator” then shaved the duplicates XD

thisisbutaname ,

I read he has a history with trying to make company X happen

badnew ,

Yeah I read, he should give up already

Kakapo ,

And got this:

That would be amazing

xc2215x ,

Knowing Musk, this is not a surprise.

inclementimmigrant ,

Yup, keep fucking that chicken there Elon.
