As you should. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] onichama@feddit.de 8 points 3 years ago (2 children) I always chuckle a bit every time I read "the company formerly known as Twitter" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Actually I hate that because they only do that so everyone still knows what platform they're talking about. I say stop that, let's actually acknowledge that Twitter doesn't exist anymore. All that remains is this weird site that is run by a total moron who thinks a unicode character makes for a good logo. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] magnetosphere@kbin.social 0 points 3 years ago* That’s good reasoning. To me, though, stubbornly calling it Twitter is more like refusing to go along with what Elon wants me to do. It’s signaling to everyone that I don’t respect him or his decisions. Additionally, I refuse to give my tacit approval to his stupid choice of name. Bonus: in the unlikely event that Elon himself sees my comments, continuing to call the platform Twitter would annoy him. permalink fedilink source parent [–] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 1 point 3 years ago "Now shut down company, formerly known as Twitter." That is what I want to hear. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Treat him like he treats his daughter. I think that's fair. permalink fedilink source parent

And still it amazes me how a site that was so toxic and shit was turned into such an upside down rocket – everyday I think we're at rock and it just barrels through. I'm mostly still there to follow a few OSINT and Ukraine accounts that have no presence elsewhere. permalink fedilink source parent
