I'm gonna call it Twitter even harder now.

[–] [email protected] 105 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i'm going to stop calling it twitter when twitter.com redirects to x.com, and not the other way around

at that point i would stop talking about it, because X is just too stupid

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago (2 children)

His obsession with the letter X is like that middle school kid who used to talk about how many girlfriends he got and how good he is at being a bad ass...

Basically, he's a less likeable version of Zane from Hypnospace Outlaw.

He's a wannabe Steve Jobs who has chased his own one letter legacy for 30 years, pathetic.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

"X" already happened. Musk even stole the logo.

BTW, there's a Mastodon instance at https://wayland.social/.

By stole the logo you mean it's the same letter?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I guess he's claiming the font having that little white separation between parts of the letter is some unique identifier, but so many fonts and logos do this that I don't think it passes a distinctiveness test at all.

I wrote that meme out in a comment like a month ago because I was too lazy to put the text on the image, so thanks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Tight reference.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If you want him to fail, help him destroy Twitter’s brand.

Call it X.

I has worse brand recognition, terrible brand loyalty, and if only highlights that the product has changed for the worse.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

my little bit is to say "what's twitter?" (sigh, alright then... X) "...what's X?"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I ve got such a hard twitter right now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Call it Xitter. Pronounced like β€œshitter”.
