A “tweet” is now an “x”. So somebody x’d that x was already trademarked. Dumb as fuck. My 8 year old is even over here calling Elon a dumbass.

So instead of tweeting something do they now "X it out"?

[-] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Yes. And for Twitter videos they are now “x-videos”. Should help draw traffic to the site.

Boy, they got lucky nobody already has that

[-] RheingoldRiver@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

so, I'm just going out on a limb here, but instead of liking something, do you now "x-rate" something?

[-] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No, when you downvote the X simply flips upside down to clearly show you disliked it.

Tell that potty-mouth to watch their language!

I do but he can’t help to shit on Elon. Gotta pick your battles as a parent and all.
