I like xitter… which someone told me was pronounced “shitter”. Seems right.
I don't want to call it X because it's a shit shit shit name
Elon will buy Reddit next and rename it to Xit. Pronounced like...
You're giving him too much credit. He'll probably call it “X”, as well, grabbing some other Unicode letter, but he'll keep using the reddit.com domain. Y'know, like twitter.com.
I hadn't been there in a long while, but a friend sent a link to what he said was a funny tweet. It was, but the responses were just awful, and they all had blue checkmarks.
Every single inserted ad was for right-wing grifts (crypto, t-shirts, gold coins, etc) or awful right-wing politicians looking angry or posing with guns.
Noped right out.
I pointed it out to my wife, but she says the journalists she follows are still all there. 🤷🏻♂️
Mmh... nope, don't care, my neurons has already a "twitter" thing in memory, devoting 0 additional effort in anything related to that thing
Call it "the app formerly known as twitter". It's what the media does. It would piss off Elon, and it has a whole prince vibe to it.
Calling twix, or xitter! You can also call it Elon's X (he has many exes, so this one fits in)
Twitter was always bad. It is of course way worse now, but it is silly to have any nostalgic and reverential feelings for it.
Xerox.
Twitter is no worse today than five years ago. But it’s certainly also no better. The discussion about which billionaires we want manipulating public discourse is outright insanity
Xcrement. It's called Xcrement.
xTwitter
I always call it 'X, the everything app.'
Can we start calling it Bluesky?
Shitter
Xlon’s Twitter
