press X to quit.
Why is this the first time I'm hearing X-it? That's pretty good.
Didn't you hear about the X-odus to Bluesky?
Because a marketing writer just came up with it.
I love how both pronunciations work here. Exit or shit.
Daily reminder that the X in Xitter is pronounced 'Shi' like in Chinese
Uh oh, someone is going to get sued!
Austrian Airlines took THE flight!
I hope this leads to many other companies using their abandonment of Xitter as a way to dunk on them in a viral way.
rambling about selfhosting
I saw someone suggesting that organizations should host instances, then I'm now thinking, that's the most smart shit ever!
- You can control your data
- Own rules so you don't get banned over random shit
- 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
When you're too fascist for the Austrians...
#XODUS
Can we start saying shxitter now?
xitter is pronounced "shitter"
I've called it zhitter since the original switch.
When will the Musk-child sue them?
Highly based
Are they on another platform like BlueSky or Mastodon?
G’day mate! Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!
It's Austrian
Oh, sorry...
Buen dia senor! Mi aerodeslizador esta lleno de anguilas!
Dude, you've failed your reading comprehension.
My favourite urban legend is that there’s a special desk at the Vienna airport for people who accidentally flew to Austria instead of Australia.
Imagine the shenanigans if a small town in Australia with a small airport was named Vienna
I went to Vienna for a conference for work in 2016. When I got back, I turned in my receipts, and the admin assistant helpfully typed up my reimbursement paperwork, carefully converting to USD from Australian dollars.
It was at that moment that I was glad I'd made my own flight and hotel reservations.
Autocorrect.
