Why is this the first time I'm hearing X-it? That's pretty good.

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 130 points 1 month ago

You probably haven't heard "X-it" because everyone still calls it Twitter.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 40 points 1 month ago

I still call it Twitter because it pisses Musk off. Not that he is on Lemmy, but principal of the matter.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

I call it X to piss off X users so they quit. Musk doesn't read my posts.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Source on it pissing him off?

Hmmm, that to me sounds like he's trolling to drive engagement. At least that is the result he got.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

As far as I'm concerned, Twitter is dead and X never even existed.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Because a marketing writer just came up with it.

[-] JesusTheCarpenter@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

Didn't you hear about the X-odus to Bluesky?

[-] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 146 points 1 month ago

Daily reminder that the X in Xitter is pronounced 'Shi' like in Chinese

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 69 points 1 month ago

It took me 3 tries to realize she wasn't saying "We took a moment to locate our nearest shit."

[-] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 month ago

Well, you never really think about where the nearest shit is to you

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 month ago

I did as I flew back from Malaysia with a really bad food poisoning. I had to re schedule my flight and whole booking the new seat I made sure it was in sprint reach of the nearest shit...er.

That was a fun trip

It was inside you all along.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

music swells

[-] techwithjake@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

But i do think about where the nearest xitter (shitter) is.

[-] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hey speak for yourself. i think about this ALL the time when i go to the dog park

No, She is the current president, Who is the last president of China.

there's a mastodon client by the name of shitter

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 month ago

Maybe I should try it out… it's not Moshidon, but it has a perfect name!

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 54 points 1 month ago

I hope this leads to many other companies using their abandonment of Xitter as a way to dunk on them in a viral way.

[-] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 month ago

When will the Musk-child sue them?

[-] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Can we start saying shxitter now?

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 54 points 1 month ago

xitter is pronounced "shitter"

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I've called it zhitter since the original switch.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

When you're too fascist for the Austrians...

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 16 points 1 month ago
[-] penfore@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Are they on another platform like BlueSky or Mastodon?

[-] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

press X to quit.

[-] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I love how both pronunciations work here. Exit or shit.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Uh oh, someone is going to get sued!

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 1 month ago

rambling about selfhosting

I saw someone suggesting that organizations should host instances, then I'm now thinking, that's the most smart shit ever!

  1. You can control your data
  2. Own rules so you don't get banned over random shit
  3. Third pro

of course there would be some work to host and mantain it, but it would surely be hella nice to have goverments and etc doing this stuff

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 3 points 1 month ago

I would love for that to take off, that's what I've been wanting into too. Problem is they have to handle moderation, but I think there are solutions to it

[-] monke@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 month ago

Highly based

Austrian Airlines took THE flight!
