It would actually take serious effort to think of a worse name. Besides everyone knew what Twitter and tweeting are. Incomprehensible decision.

The new name goes well with the audience as they already use extensively nazi swastika symbols as an expression of opinions.

Elon is trying to get the Crest from Birdmans Helmet.

The Favicon is still the bird.

Twitter simply stopped using a staging environment or any QA before pushing anything live, it seems.

Thank you, Elon, absolutely genius business decision! I was really put off using a website with a highly recognisable and long lived brand, finally this solves the biggest issue I've had with Twitter since the takeover. It was such a huge issue before that it eclipsed everything else, I don't even think there are any other glaring issues. Can't wait to log back into Twitter now after this! Oh shit I mean ... X or whatever.

I guess birds aren't real after all.

man i hope he buys reddit and runs it into the ground. he seems to be really good at tearing down social media companies.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

The guy running Reddit seems to be doing a good job of tearing down himself.
