Austrian Airlines took THE flight!

Why is this the first time I'm hearing X-it? That's pretty good.

[–] JesusTheCarpenter 3 points 6 days ago

Didn't you hear about the X-odus to Bluesky?

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 130 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You probably haven't heard "X-it" because everyone still calls it Twitter.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 40 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I still call it Twitter because it pisses Musk off. Not that he is on Lemmy, but principal of the matter.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

I call it X to piss off X users so they quit. Musk doesn't read my posts.

As far as I'm concerned, Twitter is dead and X never even existed.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Because a marketing writer just came up with it.

Daily reminder that the X in Xitter is pronounced 'Shi' like in Chinese

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 69 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It took me 3 tries to realize she wasn't saying "We took a moment to locate our nearest shit."

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Well, you never really think about where the nearest shit is to you

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 week ago

I did as I flew back from Malaysia with a really bad food poisoning. I had to re schedule my flight and whole booking the new seat I made sure it was in sprint reach of the nearest shit...er.

That was a fun trip

It was inside you all along.

music swells

[–] techwithjake@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

But i do think about where the nearest xitter (shitter) is.

No, She is the current president, Who is the last president of China.

there's a mastodon client by the name of shitter

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe I should try it out… it's not Moshidon, but it has a perfect name!

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago

I hope this leads to many other companies using their abandonment of Xitter as a way to dunk on them in a viral way.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 week ago

When will the Musk-child sue them?

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Can we start saying shxitter now?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 54 points 1 week ago (1 children)

xitter is pronounced "shitter"

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I've called it zhitter since the original switch.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

When you're too fascist for the Austrians...

[–] penfore@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Are they on another platform like BlueSky or Mastodon?

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 16 points 1 week ago
[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

press X to quit.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I love how both pronunciations work here. Exit or shit.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Uh oh, someone is going to get sued!

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

rambling about selfhosting

I saw someone suggesting that organizations should host instances, then I'm now thinking, that's the most smart shit ever!

  1. You can control your data
  2. Own rules so you don't get banned over random shit
  3. Third pro

of course there would be some work to host and mantain it, but it would surely be hella nice to have goverments and etc doing this stuff

I would love for that to take off, that's what I've been wanting into too. Problem is they have to handle moderation, but I think there are solutions to it

[–] monke@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 week ago

Highly based

[–] King3d@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

G’day mate! Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!
