How about we respond by dropping X from headlines and articles?

[–] SkybreakerEngineer 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think "dropping X" might have been a factor in this decision.

Oh, don't do that, I've still got half a bag of popcorn left.

Jesus, how big was that bag to start with?!

I'm sure there are movie communities in the fediverse who can recommend great movies to go with the popcorn!

It's just wrong kind of X. We need to talk about X.org.

Did you mean "X", formerly Twitter?

[–] beefcat 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I believe they meant "Xitter".

[–] Rentlar 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

[–] beefcat 5 points 1 year ago

"Shitter".

Tweets are now "xits". As a verb: "xit", past-tense: "xat".

[–] Fedizen 3 points 1 year ago

"Zitter" like a big ol zit
