Get your shortnames while the getting’s good.
So, I’m just checking…
- It is not open source?
- It uses AI to “Fact-Check”?
- It costs 20$ to join, and possibly more later?
Well, they have chosen interesting path those people behind this thing.
I hope this takes off and people start using “tweet” and “twitter” again and it makes “x” completely irrelevant like his Hitler salute should have
Edit: it cost $20 to join?! I’m out

Well, they need something to pay the lawyers with once Musk takes notice.
Edit: I’ve just discovered this interesting concept called “reading the article” and found out that they’ve already been sued, though it’s still not entirely settled.

Spread the word my brother! You’ve got to let everyone know about this new fad!
Lol. It’d be hilarious if this succeeded. It was so dumb of Musk to change the name.
Most of what musk does is dumb.
He didn’t get rich from being smart.
I assume he got rich how most people get rich, luck and being a sociopath.
also having a lot of money to start out with helps
And an apartheid era emerald mine
- Cash grab on an old name and hoping people pony up the $20 to join it.
- Not using ActivityPub or ATProto.
Yeah, it’s already DOA.
If anyone is serious about creating a new centralised social network these days, they have already lost.
A Masto instance would have been cool. But that is just garbage.
mastodon (like lemmy) is the epitome of uncool
you know you’re not forced to be here, right? 🤫
As soon as a better reddit clone comes along I’m GONE
But I doubt it, even Mastodon which is German got overrun by Americans and American politics
Americans are EVERYWHERE
oh look, an AfD member!
What 3 braincells rubbed together to make this comment
You know that Fediverse is decentralized, right? Lots of instance barely have anything American, especially Asian instance.

OH REALLY? NO WAY
I HAD NO IDEA
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
what?
DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT!
let me guess, you’re one of the ones that got banned from reddit “for no reason”
I’m on reddit right now? Just having a quick read of this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oldreddit/comments/1vvylak/thoughts_on_lemmy/
🤣
Going on lemmy to brag that you still use reddit isn’t the gotcha you think it is.
“Genius businessman” mmhm. Total grift. Idiot. In any other world he’d be living in a trailer park with trump flags all over his truck, working at Walmart yelling at brown people.
Edit: See comments below
You know, I 100% agree with your assessment of Musk. It’s just that you’re saying this about something that Musk has nothing to do with except actively opposing it. The subheader:
Judge hasn’t ruled on X Corp’s preliminary injunction, but Operation Bluebird plows ahead
It’s such trivial, basic etiquette to read beyond the headline before commenting on the article you’re supposed to be discussing. I’m really sick of wading through comments by lazy assholes who’ve spent more time vomiting out their gut reaction to the headline than just sitting down and reading for 30 seconds.
Reddit was bad about this, but Lemmy is somehow fucking next-level.
- The headline itself is already clear this isn’t Musk’s. Why would the new Twitter be saying Musk gave up the name if it were run by Musk?
- Even if it wasn’t (it is), the subheader is abundantly clear.
- Ars is a solid, well-written source with a good reputation for not wasting waste your time with churnalism or clickbait.
Just running through some common excuses people who refuse to read use to shift their profound, utter laziness onto anyone but themselves.
Ohhh Noos! The branding I choose which no one wanted or ever adopted is tarnished by my own actions from the last two years… Let’s rebrand and hopefully the user base will no longer associate my actions with this service anymore!
