I don't think my lurking counts as breaking the rules, I'm just fulfilling my commitment late.

Thankfully corporations aren't people.

Amazing how many don't get that.

How many people? Or corporations? Or did you mean politicians?

There's just something so pathetic about failing to start your dream company called X in 1999, and then twenty years later when your ultra rich buying some other company and renaming it X to try and finally feel like you won, you did it, you made a globally important social media company called x. The struggle is over. At last.

globally important

This is continually decreasing.

It's even funnier that the website itself is still using "twitter" as URL.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, not anymore. It's already fully migrated to x.com.

[–] Midnitte 11 points 10 months ago

It still refers to itself as Twitter though. X referring to itself as twitter

Twitter didn't even want to change its name, that was forced on it by its abusive owner.

Small brain: Calling it X

Big brain: Calling it twitter

Galaxy brain: Not acknowledging that shithole at all

Deadnaming Corporations-In-General: chef's kiss

I’ve been known to deadname the one true church. Joseph Smith named it the Church of Christ, but the Mormon church is going through its little phase 💅 and insists on being called, and get this, no abbreviations allowed,

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

His momma name him Clay imma call him Clay.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

I will happily call it 'X' because it is a stupid name and one of the dumbest decisions Elon has made and tried to enforce. Why are we trying to protect him from his stupidity?

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

I'll be long gone before I start calling it "X"
