Elon Musk is retiring the last vestige of Twitter -- the twitter.com web address -- as the social network has fully moved over to x.com.

    The thing that makes me most sad is that the old Twitter is genuinely why I have the career and connections I do today. Now I can’t even stand opening the site.

      I feel incredibly bad for small creators that still rely on it for an audience and can’t simply afford to market themselves without it.

      We should!

      Stop humouring the assholes that are still on that bigoted network.

      Every time someone calls it twitter, don’t give them the satisfaction of disassociating themselves from Musky’s X.

      Oh so you’re an X’er. You like to Xeet a lot eh?

        He was dumb enough to let X expire, maybe he’ll do the same thing here.
