I'm not going to twitter to see but are they still using the little blue bird? I thought everything was X now.

They reference Twitter all over their own site. The site is still Twitter.com. Here's their page for advertisers.

Kinda related question. Is there a way to get the blue bird back? Like a chrome extension or something like that

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

You could. I don't know that it exists. Just don't go to the site though. What's so hard?

there's an extension that returns the old ui too! (like 2015 one)

it's basically a full unofficial client, it replaces the official website with itself

I wonder if this has anything to do with how Elon fired pretty much everyone right around the time he changed the name...

They really should adopt Xitter as a transition nickname. Bonus: it actually suits theplatform the most.

Pronounced shïtter?

Makes me think the second image is from an older infraction?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

No, the website is just that bad. It still calls itself twitter in all sorts of places to this day.

I just had a look and the tweet was posted November 19th 2023.

How hard could it be, just crtl-H "Twitter" to "X"
