Why is this the first time I'm hearing X-it? That's pretty good.

[–] cybervseas 130 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You probably haven't heard "X-it" because everyone still calls it Twitter.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I still call it Twitter because it pisses Musk off. Not that he is on Lemmy, but principal of the matter.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I call it X to piss off X users so they quit. Musk doesn't read my posts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Source on it pissing him off?

Hmmm, that to me sounds like he's trolling to drive engagement. At least that is the result he got.

[–] glimse 33 points 2 months ago

As far as I'm concerned, Twitter is dead and X never even existed.

[–] Anticorp 6 points 2 months ago

Because a marketing writer just came up with it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Didn't you hear about the X-odus to Bluesky?

Daily reminder that the X in Xitter is pronounced 'Shi' like in Chinese

It took me 3 tries to realize she wasn't saying "We took a moment to locate our nearest shit."

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Well, you never really think about where the nearest shit is to you

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I did as I flew back from Malaysia with a really bad food poisoning. I had to re schedule my flight and whole booking the new seat I made sure it was in sprint reach of the nearest shit...er.

That was a fun trip

music swells

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

But i do think about where the nearest xitter (shitter) is.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No, She is the current president, Who is the last president of China.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

there's a mastodon client by the name of shitter

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Maybe I should try it out… it's not Moshidon, but it has a perfect name!

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 54 points 2 months ago

I hope this leads to many other companies using their abandonment of Xitter as a way to dunk on them in a viral way.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

When will the Musk-child sue them?

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Can we start saying shxitter now?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 months ago (1 children)

xitter is pronounced "shitter"

When you're too fascist for the Austrians...

[–] penfore 16 points 2 months ago

Are they on another platform like BlueSky or Mastodon?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

press X to quit.

[–] renrenPDX 7 points 2 months ago

I love how both pronunciations work here. Exit or shit.

[–] Anticorp 6 points 2 months ago

Uh oh, someone is going to get sued!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

rambling about selfhosting

I saw someone suggesting that organizations should host instances, then I'm now thinking, that's the most smart shit ever!

  1. You can control your data
  2. Own rules so you don't get banned over random shit
  3. 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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] uebquauntbez 2 points 1 month ago

Austrian Airlines took THE flight!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Highly based

[–] King3d 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

G’day mate! Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!
