I mean like why? you brought the brand called twitter. then change its name. i mean you could have created something called X to rival instagram just to piss off zuck. but im just another human, not a demi-god like Elon. can you imagine any other well know big brand changing its name. Do you think Apple, Nike, Ferrari , Coca-Cola doing this to name a few?


your thoughts?

My thoughts? While I don't mind the brand change, my problems come in when the brand change happened. The app noticeably had more of people I know leaving the app, people have just been complaining a lot on my timeline (I'm a guy that legit spreads positivity and those Tweets out of my 125-ish followers get ignored compare dto some of the other thing la I post), snd the most bad one is that they're removing the block feature to modify the mute one to make it better, which made me scared enough to leave the app.

Not to mention that on my sidez , I have been muting words and accounts and for some strange reason, they have reappeared on my timeline. Idk if thats something they're doing, or if its me that I'm doing something. Haven't unmuted them either. But the current state of X literally made me have no choice but to deactivate it just like all of the other ones.


But now I don't have a place to share all of my indie game stuff... I was planning this place in a group or blogs but I don't want to spam my gsme out and I haven't even progrsmmed anything yet :/

I was enjoying new twitter until I made a joke about guillotines and billionaires and am now permabanned for 'violent speech'. We are good without each other.

I had to delete the app and just run it through Brave to block all of the ads because the app is unusable. It’s literally;

That reminds me of when I used the official YT app on Android where they have static ads and video ads, and I was tired of that shit so I just looked up and found Vanced (now ReVanced and SmartTubeNext for TVs).

Yeah, the whole rebranding of Twitter to "X" thing was definitely unexpected. I guess they're trying to shake things up and stay relevant in the ever-evolving social media landscape.

or Elon Musk has a big boner for the letter X
He’s literally been wanting to make “X” since attempting to call PayPal “X.” He’s been sitting around with dumb idea ever since.
It was considered a dumb idea back then and it’s an even dumber idea now. Try troubleshooting any issues with “X” and Google just assumes that you are using “X” as a placeholder for literally anything else. Anyone who wasn’t high on ketamine would have seen this coming and not named their app/site “X”

And apartment residents had to deal with the bullshit light of the X sign at night. I lived in an apartment and some dickhead in the opposite direction flashed a powerful flashlight at my window and it was really annoying (he probably thought it was funny somehow) so I know how those residents felt like dealing with that shit.



No decent human being flashes a flashlight into someone else's property.
