Still calling it Twitter.
Source:xkcd
Neat.
So, since Elon doesn’t want it anymore, we could now reclaim the word “tweet” as a generic term for posting on social media, regardless of platform.
Imagine being such a chode you throw away a great brand name that people have known worldwide for 18 years.
Elmo is a fucking moron.
The great brand that was twitter hahahaha
and for a bland and meaningless name of all choices
It is Xitter where Xcrete posts. And always shall it remain.
“X, which is known as Twitter to everyone but Elon Musk…” - Chad the Bird
X-Com devs’ lawyers have entered chat.
Egosoft literally has a series of space sims just titled “X.” They get first dibs.
Ah, the best series I had no idea what I was doing in…
That was kind of the point though I guess. Don’t know how many hours I spent in X² just flying around doing nothing until I’d make a mistake and die.
I dare them to fully commit to this and disable the twitter.com redirector.
part of me wishes they did that, so maybe other websites would stop with the tweet linking and making entire articles around them
You could convince Elon to do this by telling him it would be terrible for internet preservation.
Oh my, you’re right.
If that doesn’t do it, I’m sure the fact that he can save about $5 per year to keep the domain name would.
And everyone will still call it Twitter.
Seriously, if I hear “X, formerly known as Twitter”, one more time… It’s been over a year. If people don’t know the name has changed by now, I don’t know what will help them.
It will never stop because X is a terrible name and means nothing without “formerly known as twitter”
Also it’s funny to deadname muskrat’s site.
not really because twitter.com redirector still works properly
No, now that’s just a redirect. That’s like saying googel.com is the real site of google.com because it “works properly”.
Like I click Twitter icon from the verge website (https://www.theverge.com/contact-the-verge). it still works unless Elon want to kill twitter URL and force other company to migrate. which is quite crazy.
Okeh.
Stop posting about Twitter this is t technology
Soooooo fucking annoying
