I think we should call it x. Twitter was this pioneering microblogging site. X is an extremist echo chamber that was created in 2023.
Funny thing is Twitter was cesspool even before Musk got his hands on it. I was actually impressed he managed to make it significantly worse.
twitter 2012-2015 was peak. ironically youtube 2012-2015 was peak.
basically dan and phil, grace, hannah, mamrie, and tyler oakley are the reason for the success of youtube and twitter not good and twitter.
It sure was, I'm willing to let that fact get buried so the contrast appears sharper, let time gild twitter.
That's why people call xitter which is comfortably close to shitter.
Something about xitter also has this sophomoric zit acne feel. And the name is weird, too.
