Twitter is where all drama happens.

It doesn't matter that some people will register an account on Threads and even use it as their primary platform.

They will still come to Twitter to see what "them" are doing.

What's twitter!? Do you mean X? πŸ˜‰

[–] zikk_transport2@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (4 children)

X what? Xvideos? Xxx something? What's x? Ex? Ex Twitter? I am out of the loop. Please explain. /s

Musky boi changed twitters name to x.

X? The kiddie porn platform?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh no, that was a mistake. The guy said he didn't and Elon said nobody saw it and besides that wouldn't happen on such an awesome platform. /s

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I believe Elon didn't see it. Why else would he want to keep the account up? So he could go look at the pics.

I thought it was "ten"

I’m actually surprised no one has pointed out the design flaw in the logo. It looks like a close window x button on browsers, especially iOS Safari. I keep wanting to close out of the window by clicking on it instead of the smaller other x.

[–] everythingsucks@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s been pointed out. Lots.

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks?

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

You basically asked why no one mentioned it looks like a close icon and this person informed you that it had been mentioned a lot. What are you saying thanks with a question mark as if what you brought up wasn't answered?

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago

Elon is a brilliant man isn't he.

The website that used to be a hamster.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hamster dance?

[–] jesterraiin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I meant "the artist formerly known as Prince". 😎
