I trust that those who make an effort to scorch offenders to the skeleton over "deadnaming", are doing so when offenses like "Xitter" are emitted, comparable to "Catbruce Jenner".
If X has transitioned, decent people should support X in this time of need.
Except for leaving, of course. Everybody should leave.
But, once out, call it "X". Why not? You don't live there any more. You're resisting and deadnaming to support your own denial, not for X.
@clive I miss a lot of things that I liked about that space. But when they locked down so you can't even reliably view a tweet without logging in, I kind of gave up.
There are still a ton of people posting interesting stuff, who I miss ...
But among the many other reasons I dove more heavily into mastodon and the fediverse, one was that I worried Twitter -- the whole damn thing -- would just flat-up 404 without warning, and all those connections to people would go poof
But already the site doesn’t perform terribly well … I suspect things are still coasting along but as little aspects break and don’t/can’t be fixed, that will compound
@lauren@clive They're not updating a person's stream unless you log in, I'm pretty sure, so it's catching up on the weeks/days/whatever of time since you last logged in. There's at least a 15-20 minute delay in normal processing due to lack of hamsters, as well, I am pretty sure. (not using the site much, just spot checking for official agencies/news nowadays).
