    Pump the brakes. Never said I support using Twitter. I was just saying you don’t have to “go to x.com” to get there. Which is an argument you used.

      That’s the primary domain… Twitter.com forwards to it, you do have to go to x.com, even if your browser is making that process mostly transparent for you.

      Do you disagree that it’s not called Twitter anymore? Do you disagree that calling people stupid for calling it x is stupid?

      The guy heiled Hitler twice on live tv and people are still using his platform because “it’s still Twitter”… It’s dumb.

        I disagree that everyone still calling it Twitter are still using Twitter and doing it as a coping mechanism. Also I thought a couple of other things said weren’t the best for making your point but I already pointed them out.

          Where have you pointed them out?

          You told me to come up with a better example, I came up with several, and they still of course have the old domains.

          If it’s not a coping mechanism, what is it? What is the end game? Enlighten me…

            See my first comment here if you’re confused about where I pointed them out.

            And the “end game” is just clowning on a dumb thing Musk did. The rebranding specifically. That’s it. It’s not deeper than that.
