Tweets are gone, they're called Xits now.
Idk, I think my only favorite thing about the whole debacle is that almost literally everyone just ignored musk's whole name change thing, and still call it twitter and tweets. Because everyone recognizes what a fucking stupid name X is lmfao.
One of my wife's friends gets really upset when people call it Twitter for some reason. She doesn't even use it. Just gets irate and reminds everyone the name was changed so if you want people to know what you're talking about you should call it X.
Strange hill to choose...
"Do you use twitter?"
wifes friend
"IT'S CALLED X NOW!!! NOBODY KNOWS WHAT TWITTER IS!!! IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, CALL IT X!!!"
looks at her, looks back at the wife
"So do you use twitter?"
wifes friend
"NOBODY USES TWITTER ANYMORE SINCE ELON MUSK BOUGHT IT!!!"
"Yeah, ok. You're right, but not for the reasons you think."
That is bizarre lol
I guess everyone ignoring it allows me to remind people it's gone to shit.
if everyone leaned into it I wouldn't be able to interject.
That's fair lol. I can't understand people who still use it.
a lot use it for art or porn, or both. i heard Japanese people use twitter as one of their main social media platforms as well
I used to pop my Xits when I was in high school....
I prefer how Hank Green approaches it
https://youtu.be/NyV54qfSZwg
I'm on Hank's page on this, I think everyone agrees with him, and my proclivity towards correcting the use of twitter/tweet is deliberate absurdism to point out X is fucking stupid and maybe you should find an alternative.
it's pronounced Xitter, btw.
I will disagree with him on toots for Mastodon. It's just a great.
nah it's stupid af and it means farts
Accurate description of the average shortform post, whether it's a tweet a toot or a skeet.
skeet is stupid too. so is bleet. they all sound like trying too hard to catch the tweet fame. it's thoroughly uncool. like when bing tried to be a verb like google
Drag is disappointed that Hank is still on Twitter. Drag respects Hank and doesn't want him giving the Nazis his time and energy
"EXits" according to my housemate.
I pronounce the x like the president of China Xi jinping. So xits="shitts"
