Context: Twitter is currently rebranding it self as X.com, which is the bottom logo. X.org is a FOSS implementation of the The X Window System which is being slowly replaced by the newer Wayland display server. Because of the Twitter rebrand Someone decided to make Wayland.social, to parody the X.org to Wayland transition.
Twitter is doing what? Why? ???
Not why. X.
Want everyone to stop talking about your mistakes and failures? Rebrand! Now everyone is focused on your new stupid logo!
It totally worked for Xfinity
This I understand, but why in the name of the gods both old and new to X?? Why just one letter? ~Does his brain not work?~
Nvm figured it out
Musk really likes the letter X, and his previous x.com venture from 1999 went belly up
So, he’s rebranding his new toy to his favorite letter
I thought x.com became paypal
It was taken over by PayPal, yeah. PayPal was the better processor and didn’t want competition
PayPal didn’t have enough cash to expand as quickly as they wanted to though, so they merged with x.com to get ahold of that blood emerald money.
Same reasons as reddit. Pure stupidity.
Give spez a few weeks and he’ll have followed with a reddit rebrand.
Coming soon: reddit changes its name to 𝕐, because 𝕐 not?
musk likes X better
Some megalomaniac man child thought it was a good idea.
