A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I still call it Twitter, because that's what it is.

When he stops deadnaming his daughter, maybe I'll start to care about his attempted rebrand of Twitter

I still call Meta Facebook and alphabet Google... No one is confused, it's only ambiguous if you start getting into logistics about business units

Twitter didn't even reorganize, they just changed their name to something it feels dumb to say. It's actually less ambiguous to call it Twitter, because X is a confusing trademark

Facebook is still Facebook and Google is still Google, though.

Musk didn’t create a parent company called X to manage the Twitter platform, he renamed the entire platform.

This is the only sane response.
