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

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 130 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 40 points 3 weeks 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@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Because a marketing writer just came up with it.

[–] JesusTheCarpenter@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 146 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 69 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

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

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 3 weeks 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

[–] techwithjake@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

It was inside you all along.

[–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

there's a mastodon client by the name of shitter

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 54 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 28 points 3 weeks ago

When will the Musk-child sue them?

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Can we start saying shxitter now?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 54 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

xitter is pronounced "shitter"

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I've called it zhitter since the original switch.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] penfore@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

Are they on another platform like BlueSky or Mastodon?

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 16 points 3 weeks ago
[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 weeks ago

press X to quit.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Uh oh, someone is going to get sued!

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 3 weeks 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

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

[–] monke@lemmy.cafe 2 points 3 weeks ago

Highly based

[–] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Austrian Airlines took THE flight!

[–] King3d@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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