I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was. (lemmy.ca)

I mean, it’s not like twitter was ever a beacon of glory, pre-Elon twitter was still twitter

Twitter was a turd. X is a turd marinaded in diarrhea sauce.

Ok well maybe a beacon of glory is a bit out there for Twitter, but there was a time where it was actually cool and unique.

Like back in the day where you could interact with it over plain SMS lol

I feel old.

That was only the first year or two at most iirc

At least 4 years. I was using a flip phone until around 2010, and that's how I normally use Twitter when I wasn't at a computer.
