Xcrement. It’s called Xcrement.
Calling twix, or xitter! You can also call it Elon’s X (he has many exes, so this one fits in)
Hey, don’t rewrite history - twitter was always notoriously bad, under Elon it surely got even worse though.
I agree with everything except the “got even worse” part. It was always a steaming turd.
It was, but now it’s a steaming turd with Nazis and KKK apologists.
A few Nazis and KKK apologists convinced a shit-ton of marketers, influencers, Karens, and other predatory users to leave.
On balance, Nazis and Klukkers didn’t make it any worse than it was.
I mean lets not overdo it the algorithms were becoming very trash before it was bought up but it was usable. Peak twitter was like 2017
There is simple solution: just ignore it. Don’t refer to it in any way.
Sorry twitter was always trash
It really is saying something that it’s waaay worse now.
They have $44 billion dollar bills to wipe away the tears.
For me, it’s simpler than that: I’m gonna deadname his company as long as he keeps deadnaming his daughter
What’s up with his daughter? Did she decide to switch name because he gave her a stupid one?
She was a boy. Now she’s a girl. Daddy didn’t take it so well.

Ah ty
Don’t call it anything. Ignore it and maybe it will go away.
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.
Such poetry. It brings a tear to my eye
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.
My poor parents phone bill when I started using Twitter over SMS…
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.
I don’t understand why anyone would care this much about a social media website
They don’t. Rather, they believe that others do, so posts like this are simply signaling alliance.
People now have fond memories of twitter? Insane.
Xitter (pronounced shitter)
Stylized as 𝕏itter
Ummm … how?!? I just copied that text and it worked. 🤯
Because it’s text.
There are more kind of letters then just our latin alphabet. Cyrillic, aboriginal Canadian and even Chinese and Japanese can be typed by just text for instance (日本語の例え)
In the same vein, mathematical and other scientific symbols can be typed using just text, and 𝕏 is the symbol that stands in place for arbitrary distance in a formula.
Basically, it’s just a (mathematical) letter, it can be typed.
That’s also why their new CEO had difficulties copyrighting it; it’s just a letter, after all!As a sidenote, looking up what the mathematical symbol actually means gave me this gem
Even the Wikipedia community refuses to acknowledge this!
It’s a distinct ascii character
Nice. 👍
Those people sold it to musk. They were tech bros whose goal from the start was to get a massive buyout and bail. They don’t deserve your respect anymore than musk does.
But Twitter has always been shit.
Not really. It was fun to talk to people that you barely knew. It was kinda like a hybrid of a chatroom and a forum.
But it grew to become shit.
The reality is that Xitter isn’t actually any shittier than Twitter was. It’s not any better, of course. But it’s certainly not any worse.
