“Community” huh? If the community is a bunch of bots, then… smells like that dead internet people are pontificating about these days.

Stop fucking using twitter. Stop posting about it, stop posting things that link to it. Delete your account like you should have already.

What an excellent platform. Gosh it would be so hard for me to leave a fascist information sewer and tracking network with AI generated ‘facticles’.

FFS...

Do you seriously believe there exists anyone left in the world who doesn't know that the platform formerly known as Twitter is now X??

Come on.

🤷‍♀️ 🤦‍♂️

I refuse to call it X. It's twitter, formerly known as somewhat sensible platform to receive information around the world.

Personally, my chosen moniker is Xitter. The 'X' is pronounced the "Chinese way when written in Arabic" (as in Xi).

Which, of course, leaves us with "Shitter" as the pronunciation.

Personally, I'm just going to continue to call it what I've always known it as for years: Twitter. It's just as valid as calling it Xitter or Shitter.

X (derogatory)
