STOP CALLING IT X. JUST CALL IT TWITTER.COM
fr! I'll start calling it "X" when he calls his daughter Vivian
You do realize that X is now it’s official name right? Elon changed the name to X and deprecated the twitter name. At the end of the domain registration, he is not going to re-register twitter.com as the domain name, and because he owns the trademark on it, he is going to sue anyone who tries to re-use the domain name.
Don't care. I'm still going to dead name the bird site.
I dropped it when trump was spewing his bs on it. My feed was 90% Trump bs and re-posts. I actively dumped fb, twitter and a few others back in 2019 and My life has been so much better since then.
That's 100% on you, nobody made you follow those accounts. My TL had 0 trump shit because I don't follow people who tweeted politics.
My job made constant exposure to the news unavoidable so Twitter was where I went to avoid it. So many funny people making original jokes. I made a lot of new friends through it that I still see today
I stand by that Twitter was a great platform if you thought about how you used it
I genuinely could not care less.
I’m going to keep deadnaming his company for as long as Elon keeps deadnaming his daughter.
Nothing wrong with that. When I see a re-post from X/twitter, or whatever he wants to name it in the future, I happily scroll right by it.
I say let him go bankrupt trying to save it.
I hope he realizes that's not how it works. Companies own domains they don't use for this exact reason. Hell, most major companies own hundreds of misspelled versions of their domains across many TLDs for user safety.
Like he cares. He bought it for money and political reasons. And now, because of piss poor decisions, the company has been devalued from $44 billion it is now only worth about $4 billion. What makes it so sad is a lot of online companies are following suit thinking they can do what he couldn’t.
He bought it because he made a joke that then became legally binding.
Just requires whoever picks it up be in a country that doesn't respect US IP law.
Hopefully that means we cab finally stop giving that shit website any attention.
Well he is helping it along with the latest talking point that he is going to make X a subscription only platform, aka you must pay to play.
