I still prefer to write it “xitter” pronounced as “shitter”.
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I still prefer to write "Twitter" because fuck X and Musk
And Spez
I was taking that to be "zitter" like it's infected and probably should be seen by a professional otherwise it's going to leave a nasty mark.
In Chinese pinyin x is a sh sound.
zittler
You know, you may have just changed my mind
And there’s the issue. There are just too many good jokes to be had here.
The other half is that news organizations won’t let themselves place a joke over the appearance of objectivity, using the legally changed name of the company. The most they will do is add the parenthetical (formerly Twitter).
Journalists are wet blankets. What can you do?
😕 🤚 X, formerly known as Twitter
😎 👉 Xitter, pronounced as Shitter
Didn't South Park call it Shitter first?
Scary how prophetic satire is
I'll call it Twatter until the day I die
While it still says "twitter.com" in the SSL certificate, that's still it's name. It is still called Twitter.
I'll have to think about it, meanwhile I'll keep calling twitter, twitter.
It is referencing Prince. He went by a symbol and people called him, The Artist (Formerly Known as Prince).

The trouble with that is that it shows a certain amount of respect
And it's owned by the X billionaire Elon Musk.
Hopefully, he'll soon be an ex-billionaire.
Honestly, I was just hoping it might help him realize how dumb X sounds to everyone else.
I’ve already posted this elsewhere but
Site: Twatter. Users: Twats.
i have a longing for the day when Twitter is bailed out because it's tOo BIg to fAiL
I prefer "used-to-be-twitter." I think it captures the context better, and it's clunky, as it should be.
Because ex-Twitter doesn’t get the same SEO as Twitter nor X.
Why are we still talking about it? Yesterday's news, man.
