Also, donโ€™t leave your account unused, delete it. User and follower numbers count.

And least as important, reply (if necessary to another corporate mail address) every email with Twitter/X in the footer, with a kind request to stop promoting and facilitating X.

What if we start referring to ๐• as "that child porn site" in a mainly neutral tone? Would that normalize it? I'd hope it would make people look inwards, but idk if ๐•philes in 2026 have that capacity.

I will now proceed to facepalm myself in a corner.

What's X? Did you mean Twitter?

[โ€“] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

it's X, Twitter already died years ago, we need to stop pretending it was still the same as back then.

You've obviously missed the joke.

It's funny to call it Twitter because Elongated Muskrat went on a huge tirade of "it's not Twitter! It's X!"

Then we should call it the CP and nazi social media

[โ€“] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why not both? Both is good. Anything but what he wants it to be called.

I tend towards calling it simply "the hellsite" most times

[โ€“] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

that works too, my point is it's better to associate it as a worse platform now rather than let people still cope that it is what it was to incentivize them to leave it for good.
