This is also a strange convergence of asshole design, and designed by assholes.

[–] BassaForte@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes

Hey, that was their surname, you need to capitalise it.

[–] curiosityLynx@kglitch.social 1 points 2 years ago

Isn't that the case with all asshole design?

It’s simple. Click the X.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

No, the other X.

[–] Madrigal@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

No, the 𝕏.

The "delete account" button.

Basically middle finger to UX because branding. I can’t stand this clown.

Random thought this inspired: does this mean the old Twitter copyrights and trademarks are going unused and unprotected?

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Unused? Yes. Unprotected? No.

[–] Catch42@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

trademarks are good for 10 years and looking at some of twitters trademarks it seems the renewed them in 2019. So yes, in 2029, if X hasn't reverted to being called twitter then their trademarks will be unprotected.

You know what is better than XXX? XXXX of course!

[–] kitsuneofinari@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

Isn't XXXX ultra-porn? Last I checked you need to be a 160 years old to rent and purchase it.

[–] codebam@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

How do you get this? It just redirects to Twitter for me
