x (formerly twitter)... you mean twitter (desperately x)
even elon calls it twitter dude why are people still pretending they have to honor a rebrand of a company by a dipshit who deadnames and misgenders his own kid.
it's not though. only musk glazers make an effort to call it x. everyone either says twitter or does something with parentheses. if it were currently known as x people would've stopped mentioning both names. it's been more than a year now. complete failure of a rebrand IMO.
I'm a little confused, that's pretty typical usage of the word. Or is it because it comes across a little pretentious? As though they're just trying to cooperate with you to more easily violate your privacy.
I can't speak for OP, but personally it makes my bullshit detector kick into high gear any time a corporate channel talks in a casual, friendly tone like that. It comes across as very insincere and infantalizing to me.
I hate to break it to you but almost every major corporation has a person whose entire job is to translate corporate copy into easy-to-parse, casual, friendly "conversation," because they do want you to think of the brand as your trusted friend. They're trying to manipulate us at every level, every interaction.
I deleted that dumpster fire the minute old Space Karen bought it. I wasn't tweeting but I used it to read some people. But I'm ok to give that up to never ever support what fuckface does.

Perfect for when you accidentally click on one of their embedded posts. Hurray!

If you're still on Twitter/X, you might as well join Truth Social.

If you want to see a post for some reason, use nitter! My fav instance is xcancel.com

Holy crap, is it still working?

Mwa@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 1y
Xcancel is using multiple accounts to scrap the data,so you can say it's nitter but it's modified to show data from those accounts.

pyre@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y
nah, i realize it's popular around here but it still acknowledges the rebrand. I just don't want to.

Yea I have a bunch of anti tracking shit on Firefox mobile and desktop and it breaks so many normie sites. If it breaks the site, move on. Fuck em.

Super easy fix, barely an inconvenience. Don't fucking use Twitter.

If you have the choice between Firefox and Xitter and are conflicted... What are you even doing with your life??
