I don't get why he's so stubborn on X dot com being a thing. Especially since when I hear dot com I think of the 90s or early 2000s, and specifically the dot com bubble.
x.social or x.net sound way cooler tbh.
how about x.org lmao
finally a use for the .fail TLD
I choose x.org
Man what a banger domain to have. Good on xorg
