      The childish censorship of names of people and things has been one of my biggest internet bug bears over the last few years.

          All that does is give them cred in the rap community.

      Are we supposed to call it X now? What a dumb name, in my opinion.

        ‘The site formerly known as twitter’

        The unpleasantly long name just makes it funnier imo

          “TSFKAT”.

          Fewer letters than “Twitter”, expresses more than “X”.

          I have seen worse names (“X Æ A-12”) get more eyeballs.

      I literally saw it everywhere on Mastodon, like, I honestly never saw anyone say it directly, just “birdsite” or a censored version. So I adapted to be polite. And sometimes forget which form of fediverse I’m posting on.
