On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of “Twitter.com” to “X.com” automatically.
If a user typed in “Twitter.com,” they would see “Twitter.com” as they typed it before hitting “Post.” But, after submitting, the platform would show “X.com” in its place on the X for iOS app, without the user’s permission, for everyone viewing the post.
And shortly after this revelation, it became clear that there was another big issue: X was changing anything ending in “Twitter.com” to “X.com.”
Sell the twitter.com domain name you cowards.
I’m waiting for this day
That’s inviting phishing. Bad idea.
Just because it’s a bad idea doesn’t mean Musk won’t do it. On the contrary.
Not if someone runs a real site there.
Maybe a mastodon instance. I’ll put 20$ towards that.
