What does he think, Apple is going to release a keynote tomorrow with Tim Cook saying “ah, my bad, Elon doesn’t like it so we’re rolling it back”. And if he blocks Apple devices from Viewing Xitter, they’ll finally move on to other platforms which will potentially cut his user base in half.

Can we make a global Lemmy compact to stop calling it Xitter and instead call it Shitter?

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 months ago

They're the same word.

Shitter is an actual app on F-droid. It's a mastodon client.

I can't ignore the irony.

The X is pronounced Shi in Mandarin

So it is basically the same

I still call it Twitter. I refuse to call it anything with the letter X in it. That includes "X (formerly known as Twitter)".

At this point I call it XXX

I'm not gonna click the link (no hits for anything Elon), but the headline says he's banning devices from his companies, so his employees will have to use anything but Apple...is what it sounds like.

He’s trying to bring attention to his ongoing campaign to show that OpenAI are somehow evil crooks that cheated him and are going to destroy the world. He projects much.
