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

[–] [email protected] 130 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] explodicle 4 points 1 month ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Because a marketing writer just came up with it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

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

It was inside you all along.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

there's a mastodon client by the name of shitter

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

When will the Musk-child sue them?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Can we start saying shxitter now?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago (1 children)

xitter is pronounced "shitter"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I've called it zhitter since the original switch.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Are they on another platform like BlueSky or Mastodon?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

press X to quit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Uh oh, someone is going to get sued!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Austrian Airlines took THE flight!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Highly based

G’day mate! Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!
