Andy Wootton@aral That bird is a baby vulture, gnawing on the bleached bones of democracy.
Benjamin Balder Bach@aral it's a very good point. In the beginning, the protest had some meaning. But now, it just feels like a deliberate way to keep participating = complicity in giving the platform legitimacy and an audience.
Julian Fietkau@aral I'm assuming xAI still owns all the trademarks for the Twitter name and logo. My mouth would be overflowing with popcorn if they started suing websites that still use the old branding. 🙃

Natris@aral good point. I hadn't thought about the Twitter link on my website in years. Removed it just now. Thank you
George Dinwiddie@Natris1979 @aral
Yeah, I wonder if there might be a link I've overlooked on one of my websites. There certainly must be in some documents I've authored.

Jules@aral man, honestly, while I believe I share the perception that on that platform all disgusting nazi shit is hidden under the free-speech-umbrella, I don't think it will then be true if people using X (still) are labeled as supporters all together. Not saying you did that with your toot, but it can also be read as this.
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)@aral I refer to it as the site with the sans serif swastika logo.
🏳️⚧️PepperTheVixen🇵🇸@aral Good point. I need to update my website. I'm still calling it twitter though. I'm gonna need a name change order signed by a judge delivered in triplicate before I change my mind on that one
Gustavo@aral if someone set this up 10 years ago and forgot, is one thing. I probably have one website or two I forgot to remove the link to such website.
If someone sets it after the rename trying to deceive people that's the first case, that's outrageous.
@aral I remembered one of those websites and went to remove the link, just to notice I lost the credentials to that website. And the source-code. I should have a backup somewhere and I guess I can reset the password via email. It's just an abandoned side-project from a long time ago, I guess it may have three or four hits per year.
