TWITTER IS NOW X.ORG

THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP LADS

ITS HAPPENING

Shardikprime,

THE HYPE

IT’S REAL

reverendsteveii,

well shit y’all, we won. it’s over, we can all go back.

tider06,

It’s pronounced “ten” right?

SankaraStone,
@SankaraStone@lemmy.world avatar

Nope, it’s pronounced dix. Learn some french, sheesh.

HamDenSorte,

Damn, their brand guidelines still uses the old logo, his designers probably didn’t have a say.

Boiglenoight,

What a !@#$show.

Shardikprime,

Bro is literally flipping the bird

Even the new name implementation feels half-assed. It still says Twitter everywhere you go on the website in words. Like why not wait until you’re fully ready to make the change?

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Move fast and fuck it all up

WiredSlumber,

If we lived in meritocracy, Elon would be living in his moms basement instead of being a billionaire.

Oderus,

The 2 people that downvoted you have no idea what meritocracy means lol.

TwystedKynd,

I guess birds aren’t real after all.

Thintalle,

instead of tweet you now xcrete

lando55,

Pretty sure that was always the case

I’d love it if he extra fucks up and Jack Dorsey somehow gets the Twitter name back for bluesky

a_hungry_rat,

This is wild, a significant percentage of Twitter’s value was its brand, and this guy has just slapped an X on it and changed the colour scheme to dark mode. Do people actually still use Twitter?

paintbucketholder,
  • 80 percent of the workforce fired -> maintenance issues crowd up
  • server bills went unpaid -> service became flaky
  • office bills went unpaid ->Twitter got evicted from many of its offices
  • Nazis, white supremacists, racists, white nationalists, xenophobes, homophobes and other trash back on service -> many regular users left the platform
  • journalists and reporters got banned and/or harassed -> many of them left the platform
  • public news services got harassed and branded as state owned media -> many of them left the platform
  • blue checkmarks (including many of the unbanned Nazis and racists) were promoted to the top -> many regular users left the platform

The brand name and the logo were literally the only thing Musk had left from his purchase.

Makes sense that he’s out to destroy those as well.

yata,

journalists and reporters got banned and/or harassed -> many of them left the platform public news services got harassed and branded as state owned media -> many of them left the platform

Unfortunately not enough of those have left yet. News and journalism was the backbone of what made twitter big back in the day, and they still constitute a huge part of the traffic that keeps it alive today.

They seem to be among the last to recognise what associating yourself with Musks brand does for your own brand.

abrasiveteapot,

Yeah the conspiracy theory that he’s out to destroy it seems to be real.

regeya,

It’s quickly turning into another Parler or Truth Social

TechnoBabble,

The Twitter branding and userbase were the only value in Twitter.

Now old users are going to have no attachment to this weird new look and name.

And new users are not going to come, because they’re going to think “it’s still Twitter, why would I care about that?”

Years of brand recognition down the drain. Twitter was such a big part of our culture that you literarily have movies, tv shows, music promoting it indirectly.

Less than 1% of Twitter users signed up for blue. Elon, nobody in its right mind wants your WeChat clone.

is there a way to block all elon musk and twitter news?

TWeaK,

Someone made an extension to do just that. It blurs out all news about billionaires.

I can’t remember what it’s called, though.

bradons,

Block the rich

Firefox

Chome

TWeaK,

Ace, yeah that’s the one!

Bilbo,

The Connect client can hide posts based on keywords. I switched from Jerboa purely for that one feature.

rodolfo,

I just made the same switch. Out of curiosity: were you able to up-downvote with jerboa? Exiting thread and getting back in, my votes are gone.

Bilbo,

I noticed that occasionally. I just assumed it differed based on the instance of the post or something. My Lemmy experience has been a lot better since I switched away from lemmy.world. Used to have crashes but haven’t crashed since switching.But, lots of stuff is changing, so maybe it was something else.

TechnoBabble,

Lemmy.world got way too big too fast and the small team behind it can’t handle it all.

Everyone should disperse to a random stable instance, or make their own, and it’ll be better for the health of the network.

Metans,

Looks like the logo for a hair salon or fashion magazine or something lol
