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.
and for a bland and meaningless name of all choices
Been too long since I have heard a good chode insult.
Brings me back, Xbox live just doesn’t have the same finesse in it’s trash talk these days.
The great brand that was twitter hahahaha
What’s the funny part? It’s literally globally known and had a great reputation among normies until the Great Chode Takeover
That’s what I’m getting at. The site itself was pure poison, but the logo, the term “tweet” was literally genius.
Twitter was great and I think anyone who thinks otherwise either curated it to be awful or didn’t really use it at all. Your Twitter experience was defined by who you followed. There was sports Twitter, political Twitter, science Twitter, weird Twitter…there were thousands of different spheres to put yourself in.
If you followed political accounts…yeah you set yourself up for a toxic experience. But I followed funny people so my experience was great. A seemingly endless series of one liners, comics, and weird observations.
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.
Oh my, you’re right.
If that doesn’t do it, I’m sure the fact that he can save about $5 per year to keep the domain name would.
Tell him it’ll be quicker and cheaper than flying to the data centers and pulling out cables by hand before hiring a random moving company to move servers with HDDs in them.
I did an internship in a small data center. That hurt to read. Made me miss the job too.
part of me wishes they did that, so maybe other websites would stop with the tweet linking and making entire articles around them
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.
It will never stop because X is a terrible name and means nothing without “formerly known as twitter”
Never.
not really because twitter.com redirector still works properly
Removed by mod
Like I click Twitter icon from the verge website (https://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.
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.
Okeh.
X-Com devs’ lawyers have entered chat.
