Twitter logo has been replaced with “X” - Pawb.Social

Mastodon instances, get your snarky X emojis ready!

I do wonder how much this, of all things, will affect migrations to Mastodon and alternatives. It’s a very visible change compared to the more abstract changes they’ve been doing recently.

The hellscape of blue checks highlighted saying the worst stuff imaginable should be enough to drive people away, but brands can be powerful. Apparently it’s already making a difference.

On that note I really wish I had an invite for meow.social

Best I can do is an invite for furry.engineer . :P
Sounds interesting, I’ll give it a try
Would definitely recommend furry.engineer - but if that’s not your jam, pawb.fun is run by the same team. Reg is open for both with approval required, but the approval is just reading the rules and telling them a little about yourself. If they’ve approved you for Pawb Social, link that in the box, and they’ll probably approve you for the Mastodon instance too.

As others have already noted, they literally just stole the x.org logo:

Elon has never had an original idea in his life.

Next up, X rebrands to Wayland.
Elon Musk Renames Twitter After Relationship With His Wife

Elon Musk announced today that he is renaming social media site Twitter “X,” a reference to the status of his relationship with Grimes.

Hard Drive
Weird to buy such a famous platform only to rebrand it, but seems like Elon Musk wants this X thing to take off for decades already.

This is literally the first and only thought I have about this.

Well, I guess it’s X-rated now. Can’t tweet at work any more, it’s the law.
Having my first initial be X now feels so cringe. I used to go by just the letter…

whoa

upside down old twitter logo looks like sonic

“Brand X, Brand X, It’s simple and plain. Brand X, Brand X, it’s different but all the same.”
