Twitter: The company owned by a transphobe, that changed it’s outside image and wants people to call it by a different name.
arguably the worse rebranding ever. the only thing that has changed is the logo and Elon saying “were not Twitter we’re now X”. Twitter branding is still all over twitter.com, it still called tweets, retweets. Hell, the terms of service are even using both twitter and X Corp.
How can a Twitter be an X? it was born a biological bird, not a letter
Not to mention it’s still on twitter.com, and changing it to another domain is a borderline impossible amount of work to do for any social media site that size.
I’m waiting for Elon to get rid of the twitter.com domain and forgetting to renew it, and someone swooping in and getting it. Because that’s something that would totally happen with his track record.
There’s a 30 day grace period on renewals before someone else can pick them up. I doubt even Elon is that dumb.
It happened to google.com before, so I definitely wouldn’t put it past Elon or the skeleton crew keeping Twitter alive.
That would be hilarious! Even better if it redirected to a Lemmy instance.
given how many ‘Twitter alternative’ services like Threads and Bluesky are cropping up
I wish they would mention Mastodon lol
Mastodon isn’t likely to buy advertising space on the verge.
