You probably haven't heard "X-it" because everyone still calls it Twitter.
I still call it Twitter because it pisses Musk off. Not that he is on Lemmy, but principal of the matter.
I call it X to piss off X users so they quit. Musk doesn't read my posts.
Source on it pissing him off?
Yeah: https://archive.ph/u9GHg
Hmmm, that to me sounds like he's trolling to drive engagement. At least that is the result he got.
As far as I'm concerned, Twitter is dead and X never even existed.
Because a marketing writer just came up with it.
Didn't you hear about the X-odus to Bluesky?
Daily reminder that the X in Xitter is pronounced 'Shi' like in Chinese
I hope this leads to many other companies using their abandonment of Xitter as a way to dunk on them in a viral way.
When will the Musk-child sue them?
Can we start saying shxitter now?
xitter is pronounced "shitter"
I've called it zhitter since the original switch.
When you're too fascist for the Austrians...
#XODUS
Are they on another platform like BlueSky or Mastodon?

I love how both pronunciations work here. Exit or shit.
Uh oh, someone is going to get sued!
rambling about selfhosting
I saw someone suggesting that organizations should host instances, then I'm now thinking, that's the most smart shit ever!
- You can control your data
- Own rules so you don't get banned over random shit
- Third pro
of course there would be some work to host and mantain it, but it would surely be hella nice to have goverments and etc doing this stuff
I would love for that to take off, that's what I've been wanting into too. Problem is they have to handle moderation, but I think there are solutions to it
Highly based
Austrian Airlines took THE flight!
G’day mate! Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!
It's Austrian
