What amuses me is that if you have a link with the X.com domain, it gets resolved to twitter.com.
Which I guess means that there is no one left at Twitter with the knowledge to change the domain without risking to break in someplace where twitter.com is hardcored.

I’m willing to compromise and call it U+1D54F from now on, it’s a pretty catchy name.
Hey, did you see that dumb transphobic shit that Elon Musk U+1D54Fed today? What an ass.

I pronounce it like Zed. Elon is a big giant Xit.
But Sh works too.

His whole “dead naming” bullshit doesn’t hold any weight considering how he treats his trans kid.

Nope. i refuse.
in other topics, is anyone else super tired of AI-generated headers everywhere, no matter how clever the keywords used to make them were?

When he stops deadnaming his trans daughter we can stop deadnaming his social media company.

Companies are not people; they cannot be “deadnamed.”
(I don’t care what the SCOTUS ruled.)

It certainly isn’t normal for companies to be dead, only reconstituted into other companies, though I suppose Musk might make Twitter an exception.

He should stop his trans daughter anyway. Its an assholish thing to do.
Fine, I’ll keep calling it “Xitter”, with the voiceless palato-alveolar fricative.

I don’t disagree that he should stop deadnaming his kid, or that Elon Musk is an asshole.

Sh(x)itter IS the only appropriate name for this mess

You can ask me to call it Twitter or Xitter (pronounced with an ‘sh’). There are no other choices.

If EM really wants people to stop calling Xitter Twitter, then he needs to let the trademark and domain name expire. You know, like the hoops trans people are forced to jump through to get legal recognition of their name and gender (when possible)?
Does someone want to start a Mastodon node called Twitter, to see how long it takes Xitters legal team to react?
