Elon Musk is retiring the last vestige of Twitter -- the twitter.com web address -- as the social network has fully moved over to x.com.

    I’m personally a fan of his new site for twitter media: xvideos.

        And the one formerly known as twitterntwittertwitter. It’s a bit of a stretch so tell me if you got it.

      You guys are joking but Elon is going to ruin porn sites next. Let’s see who has the last laugh then.

        The only way he could ruin porn sites was if the site’s content were replaced with only videos of Elon gyrating his hips to Eye of the Tiger, while wearing one of those Borat bathing suits, never breaking eye contact with the camera.

          Much simpler: His picture from the thumbnail of this post is always going to be next to the pornhub logo and his eyes are going to follow your mouse cursor.

      We should!

      Stop humouring the assholes that are still on that bigoted network.

      Every time someone calls it twitter, don’t give them the satisfaction of disassociating themselves from Musky’s X.

      Oh so you’re an X’er. You like to Xeet a lot eh?

    The thing that makes me most sad is that the old Twitter is genuinely why I have the career and connections I do today. Now I can’t even stand opening the site.

      I feel incredibly bad for small creators that still rely on it for an audience and can’t simply afford to market themselves without it.

        Honestly, I’d actually love to see some rando grab the domain and rebuild the site as it was before Musk, or turn it into a Mastodon instance. Not because I enjoyed pre-musk Twitter, but purely because it would piss Musk off to have to compete.

        He was dumb enough to let X expire, maybe he’ll do the same thing here.
