    Brilliant move by Musk. ‘X’ has long been identified as the universal symbol for closing out of an application. Hopefully with this move even more people will permanently close out of Twitter and move on so I don’t have to read so many dumb news stories where the lazy journalist uses a few random tweets as their “source” for the headline.

      Let’s also not forget it’s adult connotations, things are rated “X” for a reason 😅

        Also, if anybody here has seen Foodfight!, maybe I’m not the only one who thinks of Brand X

      It’s funny you should say that because I just deactivated my Twitter account. I never used it, and now I never will use it. Lemmy > Everything.
