I don’t use it, but i’ll forever call it Twitter.
What about his child? The one with the name that qualifies as a good password?
I love the Chaser.
I’m gonna deadname his company for as long as he deadnames his kid :)
X is still such a stupid fucking name. I feel cringe saying that.
I always just hear it referred to as xorg, which I pronounce “x-org”
I always pronounce the dot.
I like saying it like “zorg”
Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg
“The ever efficient flamethrower. My favorite.”
Zorg-rush
I pronounce it “the 2nd best windowing system currently used by GNU/Linux users”
It’s very “hacking, trenchcoats, and Muse are cool” isn’t it?
Like, yeah. Obviously this guy thought of it…
What did Muse do to deserve this?
I want to know but am afraid to search for it… I liked Muse but havent lept up with their recent works.
Other than Matthew banging all the models and the bassist getting help for alcoholism, I don’t know of any other news, other than they are fuckin rad!
I won’t. It will always be twitter, and he bought it because people made fun of him.
He offered to buy it as a joke, and was forced to finish the transaction because he had taken it too far by actually signing contracts and putting money down. He was gonna go “Just kidding” and pull out, but then the courts told him that this already constituted a legally binding sell and if he tried to back out now he’d go to jail for fraud.
That sounds like the courts are fucking stupid and ill-prepared to do their jobs.
As long as twitter.com redirects there, it’s twitter 👐
agreed, this is how i think of it
It is always morally correct to deadname transphobes. Including JD Vance who’s “Real” name is James Bowman
what like “Tommy Robinson, Whose Real Name Is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon”, where you have to use the full name at all times

The D in his name is for couch because that’s the only place he wants to put it
Corporations are not people. They do not have a sense of identity. They do not deserve the same rights as humans. They are not capable of being affected by things like gender dysphoria. A corporation does not have feelings and is only a word we use to describe a collective form of actions made by ACTUAL humans.
You literally can not deadname a company. But Elon should understand the hypocrisy none the less.
I agree with you, but then there’s this, which is silly.
I’m still pushing Xitter, pronounced with the “shee” sound
This is the way.
That’s what I call it.
That’s pretty much what I’ve said about Twitter since he changed the name- I’ll keep calling it Twitter while he still allows deadnaming.
Haha, funny. This guy thinks he can tell me what to do.
Relevant
I was following various folks on there but never much posted.
Then, a couple weeks ago they implemented some kind of “live” feature that started spamming notifications like crazy. The only way to disable it was to disable user notifications, which means Twitter went totally quiet for me.
I’ve checked in a couple times in the interim, but looks like I’m pretty much done with that app. I guess it was Elon’s next step on the path to destroying Twitter.
He looks high as giraffe pussy in that picture.
…ya know, I’m 40 years old, and up until this point in my life I’ve never once considered what a giraffe pussy looks like…and my brain isn’t capable of doing so. Maybe that’s a good thing.
Ask and you shall receive:
NSFW, but not pornographic
Click here for a non-sexualized video of the birth of a baby giraffe. It’s pretty high!
Did she prolapse or is the baby just wearing the amniotic sac? Jesus, birthing hooves seems unpleasant
I’m not going to watch the video, are giraffe babies born with fairy fingers like horses?
I’m very grossed out after looking it up, but I can’t tell and I don’t want to watch it again, tbh.
black lips to match the tongue
They got a zoo in your town?
I don’t think I like where this is going…
… To the zoo?
Yeah it’s way too hot for a zoo trip. 🫠
It’s giraffe pussy, why do you think that’s hot?
Any hole is a goal.
They kick you out if you get too close to the animals genitals :(
It got bad enough they had to put up signs
Binoculars, buddy.
The bottom eyelids are a dead giveaway
Joe Rogan, is that you?
Asking out of genuine curiosity how would one go about moderating or restricting deadnaming on Twitter from an applicable technical perspective?
I agree with the other responses you have here.
I’ll add one observation: the more petty the censorship, the bigger the backlash. People in general loathe that kind of behavior, and internet geeks with a vivid collective memory of being bullied by people like this? Oh, you reap the whirlwind in such cases.
Might not be popular but you dont want to restrict that type of stuff in tech, because people very quickly and easily find ways around it, usually by using new similar words that call back to the prohibited ones.
This is an area where moderation is key, and I think people might need to reconsider who they allow to send them direct messages. Especially I expect there to be a better way to vet someone who is trying to directly reach a stranger.
If you are literally going to open your door to the whole world some bad stuff will fall in, but you dont have to let them into your private areas just because they made it in the front door.
Trust networks are another idea, essentially verifying new people through acquaintances.
The same way that we deal with every other thing that social media platforms restrict. You make it against the rules and then enforce them. If you’re feeling fancy you could program some heuristics to determine the likelihood of a message containing deadnames - for example, maintain a list of common targets, look for people tagging them or related hashtags in tweets containing their dead name, and use sentiment analysis, to determine whether those messages should be subject to moderator approval before appearing publicly.
deadnames?
Like, something with AEX12? Pretty sure it doesn’t mean he has an actual dead child
Using a trans person’s original name when they’ve chosen a new one
Thanks for actually answering and not just downvoting like some toxic fucks in here. It seems that not even Lemmy is immune from social media’s toxicity.
To be fair your question was phrased a bit confusingly. It was hard to tell if you were asking clarification or supporting Elon in some strange way.
Sometimes people just assume that when someone asks a question that seems obvious to them, the person asking the question HAS to be a troll/bad person.
Also, you’re missing a flag.
Also, you’re missing a flag.
Yeah I know. Problem is: I am a classical liberal in the original, European sense: I don’t care, do whatever makes you happy.
I have no idea which flag supports what. And even if I did: I have heard of “infighting”, so I am scared that my “I support every single one of you” flag gets taken over by some “but not that group” group and I wouldn’t notice and then have a hate-flag on it.
So, since I can’t guarantee I will take the right flag and update it accordingly, I just won’t.
He has a transgender daughter, whom he still calls by her old, male name. Calling a trans person by their old name that they no longer use, is called deadnaming.
Oh boy. No he has a male to female transgender child, who he intentionally calls by their given name at birth, Also he really switched over to being conservative and anti-trans after said child came out to him. Usually parents go the other way, but he went the extreme hate direction and has seemingly said his child is dead to him.
Its almost funnier to see every news publication constantly refer to it as “X (formerly known as Twitter”), the constant need to remind people of how stupid the decision was it amusing
I prefer “Twitter (temporarily known as X)”
Ex Twitter
That would imply he or someone else will change the name back to Twitter
That’s the joke.
I fully expect him to sell it before long and the new buyer will change it straight back again.
or it’ll close down
If it closed down, then it would close down as X
so it would still be temporary, is the joke. It’s just a pune or play on words
It was also temporarily called Twitter though
And we’d still call what it was “Twitter”.
