X’s new terms of service insist that tweets are now posts::X is rolling out a new terms of service on September 29th, and one adjustment is a single instance of “retweet” to “repost.” There are other changes regarding data scraping and class action lawsuits.
This guy throws away one of the most famous brands in the entire world and then says “uh, it’s the Jews!”. Out of all the incredibly stupid things he has said, I still find “And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.” especially irritating.
Nah. I’m just gonna keep deadnaming Twitter for as long as Musk keeps deadnaming his child.
Nothing says marketing genius like throwing away one of the most recognisable brands in the industry and replacing it with “X”
When your brand gets to the point where it turns into a verb why on earth would you ever torpedo that?
It’s like if Google changed their name to “search” and prodded people to say “just search it” instead of “just google it”.
It’s even worse. It would be like Google changing their name to Y and telling people to “just search it”.
I prefer “xcretion” or “xcremement” in general.
Here’s a low stakes conspiracy. Musk went all in on the “Birds aren’t real” thing, and is now trying to erase birds from the internet.
Enjoy the show, this pyre is fucking massive. Literally turned a brand that became engrained into culture and destroyed it in record time.
X has now become just like any other social media platform. Posts are just called “posts” just like anywhere else.
Looks like Elon Musk has become the Elongated Muskrat once again.
Literally every single day we have idiots doing Musk’s PR work for free.
Downvote Musk spam. The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle.
So if they have publicly abandoned the Twitter brand identity, can someone else use it?
Because a lot of people are ready for a retro clone.
Would be pretty hilarious for something to take the name. But it’s doubtful that they release the name. Twitter.com still directs to x.com
Start calling everything posted online a tweet and eventually it’ll become a generic trademark.
Hehe twitter stocks go brrrrr
Maybe I missed the joke, but Twitter no longer has stocks since Elon took it private.
Elon wants to change everything about the site and he will.
All posts are X-posts… ;-)
