Worked great when the artist formerly known as Prince changed his name to a symbol.
How about we just stop mentioning it at all?
But calling them xcretes instead of tweets is super good
Love it! Does that meant tweets are now xcretions?
xcrement
So…treat it like your…ex?
This, I’m so sick of “I want to hurt something… so I’m going to continually talk about it”.
It’s the worst in games, because all it does is get more people to talk/know/hear about a game. Cyberpunk 2077 was a bad launch, instead of just harping on that, I wish every post was “Instead of Cyberpunk 2077, I’m playing X game and it’s amazing” Get people interested in something else… and in general stop talking about this shit.
Lemmy users trying to not talk about Twatter or Reddit
Nah, I’m just going to keep calling it Shitshow
Yep, this is exactly the kind of worthless post that started making reddit unbearable years ago.
Can we please not immediately ruin this new platform with this shit so soon?
Considering we still constantly talk about reddit… no it’s already been ruined.
Well, you can block me if you are so upset by the quality of my statements…
Why bring up R?
Why are so many posts here bitching/commenting about other sites?
So many posts here sound like someone after a breakup trying to prove to the word just how over their ex they are…but refuse to talk about anything else.
I was talking about OP.
In particular, it’s low effort, attempting to be funny/snarky about about a pop culture or political news item, usually stolen from somewhere else and posted to the wrong community, but it gets attention because it panders to the majority of the user base.
This is a better explanation and should be with your original complaint. It really fleshes it out.
My bad. I’ll delete.
Nah. Prince changed his name to stick it to the record label that was fucking him over. That was his livelihood at stake.
No one needs Twitter. I don’t even have an account.
And Prince was so good we would listen to his new stuff no matter what he called himself.
Saw someone on lemmy calling it ‘Ten’, thought that was quite funny.
But ten also sounds kind of cool, we should build our own ten, with blackjack
And hookers?
I just call it the “I stopped caring about that site a long time ago” site.
would be funny if everyone just started calling it “ten”.
I don’t get it?
X is the Roman numeral for 10
Who fucking cares? How about we just don’t mention that piece of garbage.
I prefer “the ex social media platform”
I’m still calling it Twitter. Always will.
Yep. That website is Twitter and that rapper is Kanye West. I refuse to kowtow to the whims of the ultra-wealthy.
Kanye goes by something else? You know what, I still don’t care. Nevermind.
Hahah yeah Kanye West wants us to call him “Ye”.
Is that pronounced “yay” or “yee”?
Pretty sure it is “yee”
Did he change his last name, too? To “haw” perhaps?
Yes
I don’t call it anything because I don’t really talk about it.
Would rather just not talk about it
Prefer to give it 0 energy. Even this comment is pushing it.
I would prefer to just not talk about it.
How about we don’t talk about it at all?
I am going to call it twatter just to make people have a moment of “wait did he say what I think he said or did I mishear him?”
Too long. I call it shitter.
Seeing what Elon Musk wants to do with it, we should probably be calling it “spyware”.
