my favorite websites are the "you're a dumbass" websites. Twitter started changing "twitter.com/blah" to "x.com/blah" so, naturally, someone tried "setwitter.com" and it changed to "sex.com"
so naturally someone had to buy the setwitter domain (some others too) so people wouldnt go to a harmful website because twitter users are dumb. It's pretty funny too https://www.setwitter.com/

    I'm confused, how did setwitter.com redirect to sex.com if twitter/X didn't own the setwitter.com domain?

    it would change the text in the tweet not redirect the link, like if you link twitter.com/ExamplePostHere it would change the text to x.com/ExamplePostHere
    but it didn't check if there was other stuff in the link like the 'se' before 'twitter'
