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

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 130 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 40 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Because a marketing writer just came up with it.

[–] JesusTheCarpenter@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 146 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 69 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 year 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

It was inside you all along.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

music swells

[–] techwithjake@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

there's a mastodon client by the name of shitter

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

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

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

When will the Musk-child sue them?

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can we start saying shxitter now?

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

xitter is pronounced "shitter"

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've called it zhitter since the original switch.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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

[–] penfore@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Are they on another platform like BlueSky or Mastodon?

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 16 points 1 year ago
[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

press X to quit.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Uh oh, someone is going to get sued!

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 1 year 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

[–] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Austrian Airlines took THE flight!

[–] monke@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

Highly based

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

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