Go to twitter.com, it goes "X" and then "Sign in to Twitter".

You missed a spot there Elon. You know what we industry professionals do - it's called a "design process". You:

  • Mock up the way you want it to look
  • Make it look that way
  • Then you push it live.

Bold of you to assume Twitter has test environment. Musky probably decommissioned it for cost cutting.

Oh yeah there's no way there's a dev build or test platform anymore.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

You need devs and testers to have dev and test platforms. Elon fired them all because he's smarter than they are, so they weren't needed.

You can see the genius entrepreneur at play. Why waste money scrubbing the site from former branding when you can do 90% of the rebranding by changing the logo and background color. Everyone knows that the last 10% is like 90% of doing it right budget. Massive savings right there.

Seriously. How fucking dumb are the people running Twitter?

Hey I got a good idea, let's destroy the goodwill and globally recognized brand identity that I own for no real reason....

  1. There are no people running Twitter any more. Elon fired them all.
  2. Elon is one of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet and he calls the shots. It doesn't matter if anybody else objects.

Gotta be someone helping him. Even if they are utter gimps.

Ultimately if they aren't completely "yes people", then they are long gone.

They haven't even secured x on some big TLDs, their design process is not the only issue.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nor will they, doubt x.org is going anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

X.de (German TLD) is even for sale right now and they still didn't grab it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone should run a Mastodon node on that

x.baby is like $3,200 but renews at just $65 through namecheap. it’s a bit of an investment, but it’s a quality fucken domain too.
