The X logo with its white-on-black imagery always looked masculinist and right-wing to me. Always loved the Twitter one and the idea: birds communicating with each other. Thebutterfly motif is equally effective with the blue sky metaphor. But yeah… would be funny if it became Twitter 😂

He may own the domain but we can refer to our posts as tweets

Musk bought Twitter. The name & the brand. He chooses to use the juvenile ‘X’ instead, but he still owns the Twitter name.

Would be funny but X owns the Twitter domain name. I like that the Bluesky logo has obvious similarities to the Twitter logo - makes it feel like the Twitter I liked before Leon Smuk took over.

Yea, everything seems good so far. As much as I want to leave X and put two fingers up to Elon, I'll stay for a while to keep an eye on the right. But this is now my main platform.

reply

neatguy.bsky.social•103 days ago

I was on Threads before I dumped X. Deactivated there yesterday, figured I would see if engagement was growing here. Both platforms only seem to be missing some of my favorite follows, otherwise I am pleased with both. A quick demise of X will hopefully bring those follows over. Fingers crossed.
