nah if anything it'll be the letter T

hy, don't qustion th will of th grat Lon Musk!

He’s still mad he couldn’t get the “Model E” trademark for Tesla

News, businesses, and celebrities continue to use it for some reason. It won't die until they stop.

Look how deep Twitter is in sports reporting. Any article about an event in a game (a goal, a hit in hockey, etc.) has the video... from Twitter. It's the default and just won't stop. Until that mindset changes, I'm afraid Twitter will continue to exist.

And that's an X with a Chinese pronunciation, no doubt.

Those still there don't know better (lots of millenials, and older, folks and those barely online), like Elon's changes, or are there passively (syndicating other feeds).

Network effect. People can't leave because the people they like to talk with are they and those people can't leave for the same reason.

Yeah you can see the effect even with something simple like the words “Mexicans” or “Jews” or “Men”, depending on the heat and spin you put on the word it can either just be a descriptive word in a benign sentence or it can have a silent “those dirty fucking” just before it. So I can definitely see how some people have been using it as a slur but context matters and probably shouldn’t be blanket moderated

As a cisgender white man, I think the most offensive thing I could possibly do is be offended by what people call me or assume about me. Which, in a way I sort of wonder if that stance is also offensive, like I'm not even bothering to play on a level playing field. But, at the end of the day I know these attributes don't cost me any tier of opportunities... Maybe they cost me some specific opportunities but definitely not any level of equivalent opportunities.

The right wing are total babies.

I think it's just because Twitter is a hellhole that often uses it to invalidate people, if not as a straight up insult. It may not be a slur on its own, but it sure is often used like one.

I can't justify Elon banning it, especially over other slurs. But l sure as hell can see why people can be offended by it for reasons other than that they hate trans people

I’ve always figured it offends them because if they accept the term they are de facto recognizing being trans is a thing at all. The term is only necessary if trans is a legit concept.

I'm really looking forward to the increased chocolate ration.
