    The only difference being Meta and Alphabet are the names of parent companies that Facebook and Google created to own themselves

      The Meta rebrand was definitely about escaping baggage associated with the name Facebook. Alphabet you’re right about though.

        They also wanted to own VR and rebrand it as meta. I don’t think that moved worked out for them.

    Is calling it Twitter is deadnaming?

    Maybe we should tell this pervert of Mr Musk we call it Twitter as long he is referring to his daughter by her penis.

    I think we should call it x. Twitter was this pioneering microblogging site. X is an extremist echo chamber that was created in 2023.

      That’s why people call xitter which is comfortably close to shitter.

        Something about xitter also has this sophomoric zit acne feel. And the name is weird, too.

      Funny thing is Twitter was cesspool even before Musk got his hands on it. I was actually impressed he managed to make it significantly worse.

    Companies didn’t rename themselves. Rich CEOs renamed them against their will.

    Corporations are living like it’s 1930.

    Just change your name and the past goes away.
