I may be misremembering but seem to recall them being early to Tw*tter too. Good sign

my guy you don't have to censor the word twitter

[-] xxcarpaii@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe they were talking about twatter

[-] Serpardum@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

Are we supposed to call it X now? What a dumb name, in my opinion.

[-] OtakuAltair@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

'The site formerly known as twitter'

The unpleasantly long name just makes it funnier imo

“TSFKAT”.

Fewer letters than “Twitter”, expresses more than “X”.

I have seen worse names (“X Æ A-12”) get more eyeballs.

I liked someone's suggestion to pronounce it as "ten"

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 6 points 1 year ago

I still call it Twitter and will continue to do so. :)

Does that mean DMX is now running the show over there?

[-] 1847953620@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They don't know who we be

[-] zerozaku@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It's a funny thing people do. Look it up. Some more examples: Brtish, Frace

You accidentally did a markdown there!

That's why censoring with 🤮 is better:
Br🤮tish, Fr🤮nch

Musk himself is censoring Twitter

[-] LakesLem@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I literally saw it everywhere on Mastodon, like, I honestly never saw anyone say it directly, just "birdsite" or a censored version. So I adapted to be polite. And sometimes forget which form of fediverse I'm posting on.

[-] shroomato@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It's spelled twatter

[-] 17451k@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

It would be funny to censor X just with a single *
