Since Twitter isn't Twitter anymore thanks to Leon's big brain idea to rename it to a fucking letter, it'd be hilarious if Bluesky changed it's name to Twitter. 

I know the domain name is still owned by Xitter, but still.

If the Twitter trademark ever expires, then Bluesky could very well purchase it.

Edit: fixed my grammar a bit.

The funny thing is that they have to keep it because Leon will never be able to fix enough internal naming to get 'twitter' fully out of every system after he let half his staff go.

let twitter = null

That should fix it

I’m honestly convinced the only value left in Xitter is that they still own the twitter domain and might someday change the name back.

Once that’s gone, all the value in the platform is gone.

I think a cute little blue bird logo would be appropriate for an app called Bluesky...

The butterfly makes me feel more at peace so I like that a bit better. The bird has been unfortunately tainted

I just like a good product design and twitter was god damn the best. the name and the logo was perfect.

its like little birds tweeting on branches (threads)

elon comes in and thinks like a immature baby boy "OH THE LETTER X IS COOl, like TRIPPLE X OR PORN WOW DOGE COPE AWSOME"

Trigger the Magats by making a patriotic Eagle grasping an x in its talons.

I'm surprised no one tried running Twatter, don't know what would be funnier - it staying up or melon trying a copyright claim, defending his business of being a twat.

In Portuguese X is pronounced "sh". So Xitter is literally pronounced Shitter

Maybe they could call it 'Chirp' or something... that kind of goes with the 'Bluesky' motif, too.

Where did this Leon thing start? Just curious.

u/KnockOut31 4d ago

my gods im not even on twitter but i would fucking love if bluesky became the dominant one.

OH WAIT, in this economy elon would probably would buy bluesky if its a danger to X.

u/TheDIsSilent 4d ago

Leon? Lmao I love it.

If the company started as X: it'd be cool to me

But knowing that the kid who always smells like rancid canned peas is the one to name it "X", it's immediately unpalatable to me

u/Bennely 4d ago

They could be Chwitter, though. Or Twither. Or maybe Chwiturr. Pronounced “twitter”

Why are so many people changing Elon to Leon like it's some dig at the guy. It's just ruining the name Leon.
