What does he think, Apple is going to release a keynote tomorrow with Tim Cook saying “ah, my bad, Elon doesn’t like it so we’re rolling it back”. And if he blocks Apple devices from Viewing Xitter, they’ll finally move on to other platforms which will potentially cut his user base in half.
Can we make a global Lemmy compact to stop calling it Xitter and instead call it Shitter?
They're the same word.
Shitter is an actual app on F-droid. It's a mastodon client.

I can't ignore the irony.
The X is pronounced Shi in Mandarin
So it is basically the same
I still call it Twitter. I refuse to call it anything with the letter X in it. That includes "X (formerly known as Twitter)".
