X ain’t gonna give it to you.
X will not deliver it to you, get it yourself.
Knock knock, open up the door, it’s nobody.
Just the nonstop drop drop of shareholder value.

(I know it doesn’t scan or rhyme, it’s still more brainpower than Mubsk deserves)

@Graham_LRR What did this guy ever do to you?

@Graham_LRR The best take I've seen is now the infant that runs the site will find out firsthand what deadnaming feels like. It's a real Sears tower situation.
Show threadCodatskiJul 24, 2023
@Graham_LRR Also the font used is Blackboard Bold, which is an existing font, complicating it as a trademark. (Citation needed, I'm not a lawyer)
Show threadGraham StarkJul 24, 2023
@codatski oh, where’s this font? I haven’t seen the branding yet.
Show threadCodatskiJul 24, 2023
@Graham_LRR Here's the "branding" Found an example on Wikipedia of the font: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackboard_bold

@codatski it’s just from a font? Wow. I guess that’ll happen when you publicly solicit logo designs from your legions of unpaid buttlickers.
Show threadMrDrLewisJul 24, 2023
@Graham_LRR @codatski Also, will Microsoft sue for trademark confusion? Because I sure as bus thought that was the Excel logo going through a goth phase.

@Graham_LRR sounds factual
Show threadWhoseGriftJul 24, 2023

@Graham_LRR You make it sound like changing all the branding of a social media company to a non-descript logo to an unsearchable and probably untrademarkable name that sounds super dumb to say out loud is a bad thing!

Couldn’t even be bothered to hit up Fiver for a better logo either.

@Graham_LRR I keep remembering that one episode of Doctor Who, when they went back in time and saved Peter Capaldi from Pompeii.

The look on their faces as everything burned to ashes in mediocre CGI...

Show threadMichelle Rapp, Tough CookieJul 24, 2023
@Graham_LRR Also, for a complete rebrand they sure do keep "Tweet!" and "Search Twitter" in their search bar around.

@Graham_LRR I still don't understand why he's purposely trashing the site but doesn't just shut it down. What does he get out of devaluing it?

@Graham_LRR Oooooooohhh. Ok.
Show threadbubba0077Jul 25, 2023
@Graham_LRR @BrianHope Also, I think (NAL) if he just shuts it down there may be certain repercussions with the creditors, whereas if he just runs it into the ground with shitty decisions, he legally remains safely behind the corporate veil.
