Ohhh Noos! The branding I choose which no one wanted or ever adopted is tarnished by my own actions from the last two years… Let’s rebrand and hopefully the user base will no longer associate my actions with this service anymore!
Lol. It’d be hilarious if this succeeded. It was so dumb of Musk to change the name.
Most of what musk does is dumb.
He didn’t get rich from being smart.
I assume he got rich how most people get rich, luck and being a sociopath.
also having a lot of money to start out with helps
And an apartheid era emerald mine
Will be called TwiXtrr now? 😛😄
I hope this takes off and people start using “tweet” and “twitter” again and it makes “x” completely irrelevant like his Hitler salute should have
Edit: it cost $20 to join?! I’m out

Well, they need something to pay the lawyers with once Musk takes notice.
Edit: I’ve just discovered this interesting concept called “reading the article” and found out that they’ve already been sued, though it’s still not entirely settled.

Spread the word my brother! You’ve got to let everyone know about this new fad!
- Cash grab on an old name and hoping people pony up the $20 to join it.
- Not using ActivityPub or ATProto.
Yeah, it’s already DOA.
If anyone is serious about creating a new centralised social network these days, they have already lost.
“Genius businessman” mmhm. Total grift. Idiot. In any other world he’d be living in a trailer park with trump flags all over his truck, working at Walmart yelling at brown people.
Edit: See comments below
You know, I 100% agree with your assessment of Musk. It’s just that you’re saying this about something that Musk has nothing to do with except actively opposing it. The subheader:
Judge hasn’t ruled on X Corp’s preliminary injunction, but Operation Bluebird plows ahead
It’s such trivial, basic etiquette to read beyond the headline before commenting on the article you’re supposed to be discussing. I’m really sick of wading through comments by lazy assholes who’ve spent more time vomiting out their gut reaction to the headline than just sitting down and reading for 30 seconds.
Reddit was bad about this, but Lemmy is somehow fucking next-level.
- The headline itself is already clear this isn’t Musk’s. Why would the new Twitter be saying Musk gave up the name if it were run by Musk?
- Even if it wasn’t (it is), the subheader is abundantly clear.
- Ars is a solid, well-written source with a good reputation for not wasting waste your time with churnalism or clickbait.
Just running through some common excuses people who refuse to read use to shift their profound, utter laziness onto anyone but themselves.
I read it, I know its not him. I was referring to how stupid he was for changing the name of an insanely popular household term. Absolute idiocy becuase of his ego loving the letter x.
Its like Kleenex changing their name to bleepoopy and demanding everyone now say get me a bleepoopy I have a runny nose. Utter idiocy.
2022: Come on, it’s just 8$ it’s basically the price of a coffee.
2026: Come on, it’s just 20$ it’s basically the price of a coffee.
2030: Come on, it’s just 50 bottle caps, it’s basically the price of a coffee.
Literally every year since the internet was created: the dollar sign goes before the number, my dude.
Didn’t know since we don’t follow this convention where I’m from.
Shrugs
Every one of these symbols goes before the number: $€£¥₹
Where are you from where it comes after? What currency do you use?
The only time this comes after the number, that I am aware of, is when you use abbreviations like USD or EUR instead of the symbol.
Where are you from? In English it’s always the case that you put the dollar sign before the number.
So, I’m just checking…
- It is not open source?
- It uses AI to “Fact-Check”?
- It costs 20$ to join, and possibly more later?
Well, they have chosen interesting path those people behind this thing.
This will never amount to more than a cash grab.
A Masto instance would have been cool. But that is just garbage.
mastodon (like lemmy) is the epitome of uncool
you know you’re not forced to be here, right? 🤫
As soon as a better reddit clone comes along I’m GONE
But I doubt it, even Mastodon which is German got overrun by Americans and American politics
Americans are EVERYWHERE
oh look, an AfD member!

I’m on reddit right now? Just having a quick read of this:

🤣
Going on lemmy to brag that you still use reddit isn’t the gotcha you think it is.
im not bragging, im laughing at you guys
you’re the uncool losers of the internet which is how you like it until someone points it out
You know that Fediverse is decentralized, right? Lots of instance barely have anything American, especially Asian instance.

OH REALLY? NO WAY

There’s no door here, this is a website
