Absolutely funny move... if only Musk hadn't cut large swaths of the team that could forsee these issues and patch them preemptively.
The Onion can take the day off.
Hope there is a compilation of all the post musk Twitter/X fuckups!
I hope they use space-twitter.com to do it.
This doesnt make sense though. The links go from being twitter.com to become x.com it doesnt turn every x into the word twitter which would make no sense for his xitty plan to force people to say x
It doesn't make sense to push for anyone smart but it's the equivalent mistake as forgetting to check "Whole Word Only" on your Find and Replace function.
And surely they have a mechanism to test it in actual Twitter data, like "run this change and show me 50 random, unique samples." That should be the very minimum for something like Twitter.
