X rolled out a change that automatically converts all links that have the string “twitter” anywhere in them to “X.”

For example, if someone tweets the link setwitter.com, the X client application will change that link to sex.com.

This is not a joke.

@TodayInTwitter For someone who thinks deadnaming people is a joke, he sure does take it seriously for his stupid nazi website.

HadesAddict,

@TodayInTwitter concerning. Should look into any connections to DEI

@TodayInTwitter @mhoye What?

Elon Musk did a dumb thing?

Good thing I’m sitting because the room is spinning from my shock.

(Sarcasm aside, HOW MANY DUMB THINGS MUST HE DO before his supporters finally admit the emperor has no clothes?)

What do you mean, this is not a joke? This is totally a joke, like the whole company and its owner.

@TodayInTwitter It’s a bit of a joke, surely. As in: Xitter is a joke.

@TodayInTwitter "X" is a terrible name.

@TodayInTwitter Eigentlich sollte man nicht auf einen toten Vogel eintreten. Aber das ist wieder so ein 0 durchdachter Depplon Schnellschuß der mal wieder voll nach hinten losgeht. Damit sind alle URLS die auf X gepostet werden und auf X enden nicht mehr klickbar. Wieviele Nägel muß man noch in diesen Sarg X schlagen bis der Dienst endlich offline geht?

@TodayInTwitter well, let's be fair, regex is difficult, especially for a company like this

@TodayInTwitter I’ve seen this posted with three different, incompatible explanations of how this is supposedly happening and no evidence. Is it converting x to Twitter, or Twitter to X, or some third thing?

TodayInTwitter,
@TodayInTwitter@mastodon.social avatar

@brandonlivesin It’s Twitter → X. I just saw it on the website about a couple hours ago. (They’ve been slowly filtering out addresses, seemingly manually.)

@TodayInTwitter Elon Musk is the perfect example of how meritocracy is BS.

@TodayInTwitter Great. As if I didn't already have plenty of reasons to think of Elon Sucks as an incompetent dumbass who can't run a social media platform for shit.

And what's funny: Elon wants to send humans to Mars in the future. How the fuck is he gonna run a mission to Mars when he can't even run a social media platform competently?

This is what happens when your fire everyone who knows how to use regular expressions properly, as well as your software QA team.

I thought it was the opposite. Spacex.com would go to spacetwitter.com

TodayInTwitter,
@TodayInTwitter@mastodon.social avatar

@jamesbritt No, spacetwitter.com would turn into spacex.com.
