Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Shitter, clearly the only acceptable name.

Won't even use it for porn now.

X is too short and generic. It is literally just a letter.

“Xwitter”

The X is like a fallen over t. Like twitter, falling apart.

I liked what one person said I forget where I saw it of calling it Xitter and pronouncing it like Shitter.

That’s pretty good. I might steal that.

I am still waiting for a well-known media to call it "the website commonly known as Xitter", instead of "the website formerly known as Twitter".

As long as Elon dead names his child (and supports dead naming), I'm dead naming that dumpster fire Twitter.

Have you seen any good twats lately?

[–] thirstyhyena@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

In professional settings, I still call it Twitter because my customers doesnt know or understand the name change

Epic rebranding fail.

Shouldn't renaming a social media really be up to the users? Shouldn't twitter users vote on that?

We just conceded that social media are owned by some corporate entity but the only values is in the users themselves. They build it. They should "own" and control the social media democratically, it should be accountable to them. It seems much more obvious than with traditional media that these should be democratic institutions.

Elon Musk behaving so blatantly stupid is unusual but the problem is really much larger.
