I dare them to fully commit to this and disable the twitter.com redirector.

You could convince Elon to do this by telling him it would be terrible for internet preservation.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 5 months ago
If that doesn’t do it, I’m sure the fact that he can save about $5 to keep the domain name would.

Oh my, you’re right.
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 5 months ago
part of me wishes they did that, so maybe other websites would stop with the tweet linking and making entire articles around them
HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 5 months ago

Soooooo fucking annoying

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.
Darkrai@kbin.social 5 months ago
It will never stop because X is a terrible name and means nothing without "formerly known as twitter"

not really because twitter.com redirector still works properly
dysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
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 (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.

Never.

Still calling it Twitter.
AmbroisindeMontaigu@kbin.social 5 months ago
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.

It is Xitter where Xcrete posts. And always shall it remain.

Egosoft literally has a series of space sims titled “X”
capt_wolf@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.

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.
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 5 months ago
and for a bland and meaningless name of all choices
Rustmilian@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The moment Twitter dies, X.com will be an adult website. Not a single doubt.
owatnext@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Been too long since I have heard a good chode insult.
mynachmadarch@kbin.social 5 months ago
Brings me back, Xbox live just doesn't have the same finesse in it's trash talk these days.
BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 5 months ago
The great brand that was twitter hahahaha
Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 5 months ago
What’s the funny part? It’s literally globally known and had a great reputation among normies until the Great Chode Takeover
