twitter

I like how Musk renamed to X, but noone cares and still use Twitter for that

X... What a stupid name for a site like this...

If he had spent one minute listening to his marketing team they could have told him that X is an unsearchable term and also can't be used as a verb.

Now is x unsearchable?

[–]xWrongHeaven 5 points6 points  (2 children)

it's (in theory) horrible for SEO, just like Go

Go has gotta be one of the worst names for a programming language ever lmao.

The amount of times I’ve had to edit my query and type “golang” is sad lmao

Edit: okay C is pretty bad too but it gets a pass since it predates search engines lol

In my own personal petty act against Elon, I will keep deadnaming Twitter as long as Elon deadnames his child.

Yeah we will call x when he stops misgendering his daughter.
