I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was.

Previously, it was a shithole.
Now, it’s a Nazi shithole.

Don’t call it anything. Ignore it and maybe it will go away.

Hey, don’t rewrite history - twitter was always notoriously bad, under Elon it surely got even worse though.

I agree with everything except the “got even worse” part. It was always a steaming turd.

It was, but now it’s a steaming turd with Nazis and KKK apologists.

A few Nazis and KKK apologists convinced a shit-ton of marketers, influencers, Karens, and other predatory users to leave.

On balance, Nazis and Klukkers didn’t make it any worse than it was.

2 things can be true at once about something, imagine that.

I think the “even” in that quote adequately implies that…

Ok well maybe a beacon of glory is a bit out there for Twitter, but there was a time where it was actually cool and unique.

Like back in the day where you could interact with it over plain SMS lol

I feel old.

At least 4 years. I was using a flip phone until around 2010, and that’s how I normally use Twitter when I wasn’t at a computer.
