On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of “Twitter.com” to “X.com” automatically.
If a user typed in “Twitter.com,” they would see “Twitter.com” as they typed it before hitting “Post.” But, after submitting, the platform would show “X.com” in its place on the X for iOS app, without the user’s permission, for everyone viewing the post.
And shortly after this revelation, it became clear that there was another big issue: X was changing anything ending in “Twitter.com” to “X.com.”
Sell the twitter.com domain name you cowards.
I’m waiting for this day
They should switch the name to Wayland.com as a compromise.
When Elon stops allowing deadnaming on Twitter, I’ll stop deadnaming his website.
Petty.
He doesn’t have control over what others think and say no matter what he tries.
Social media should be owned and operated by the people.
Love you lemmy/mastaon
Ctrl+F: Twitter.com Replace all with: X.comSomeone at Xitter should hire me ASAP! My development skills are on-par with Elon.
For someone who is supposed to be smart, he’s an idiot.
I’m interested in why people have hyped him up to be smart?
I’ve watched a few podcasts with Elon as the guest and he comes across as average as an average person can be.
The only thing I’ve seen is that he jumps at opportunities he believes will be profitable, and has leveraged what he has against partners and adversaries for his own personal gain.
He is so defensive all the time and it’s exacerbated by his insistence on being wrong. It makes him look extra stupid. It’s impossible for me to comprehend how he graduated from an Ivy League school.
Does anyone know if he use to have Handlers? I always figured the reason he got hyped was because he had people who did his social medias for him and got him good publicity like being on The Big Bang Theory and he thought it was all him. He then fired them all and people saw the real him.
What happened to Xitter being a paragon of free speech? You can’t even say “twitter.com” without them censoring you.
How unfortunate they can’t deal with the spam bots quite so effectively.
I only think of glass onion and chuckle to myself everytime I think of Elon.
Do you mean the song by the Beatles?
Of course, or the movie.
“Well that’s embarrassing” - everything Musk / X does
Start, using, Mastodon.
-he said on Lemmy Edit: *She
Mastodon is to Twitter as Lemmy is to Reddit.
I think they meant “you’re preaching to the choir.”
Ooooh
She, cmon I have Queen in the name
You know how you always mention that brock turner the rapist is a rapist because brock turner is a rapist who doesn’t want people to know that he, brock turner, is a rapist?
Same with elon, owner of the now failing Twitter, who was forced to buy twitter after over committing. Since the purchase elon, owner of the now failing Twitter, then proceeded to continually publicly fail for SOO LONG as he tried to unsuccessfully rebrand Twitter, the now failing site that elon musk owns, to x.
He should just rename it to elon.social instead. That’s what I think of it nowadays and especially since the name change.
I wish the people know the alternative, like Mastodon for example
I had just started to appreciate twitter when musk bought it and it turned to shit. The big advantage of it was that it seemed like pretty much everyone was on there to some extent. Mastodon doesn’t have anything like that user base, though it feels like it’s growing and I much prefer the UI.
BRB, registering webetwitter.com for the lols…
