So you know how when you’re a new Tumblr user that defected from Reddit because that ship is going dooowwwnn baaybaayy, and you don’t really know how everything works yet, and so somehow you end up on your own profile page but you dont realize thats its your own and you scroll like 5 posts and you think to yourself “wow I agree with everything Im seeing this is interesting” and then its like “wait I think Ive read all these before” and then you freeze and look at the top bar and see your own tag and realize “oh god fuck I have just reblogged all these posts another time over” and then you have to go through and make sure you dont have unintended duplicates and burn in shame in hopeful privacy because fuck Im making a gigantic fool of myself on this lovely platform that I did not download nearly quickly enough
You’re doing great!! Reblogging the same things a few times is normal here!! Even several times in a row! My followers have been tormented by a post I find funny 20x on their dashboard! Nothing wrong with multiple rbs if u deem it worthy
Tumblr is a pvp zone and Reblog Burst is a very popular special move.
“I need to love it more” is a really common sentiment here.
I slept in and just woke up, so here’s what I’ve been able to figure out while sipping coffee:
Twitter has officially rebranded to X just a day or two after the move was announced.
The official branding is that a tweet is now called “an X”, for which there are too many jokes to make.
The official account is still @twitter because someone else owns @X and they didn’t reclaim the username first.
The logo is 𝕏 which is the Unicode character Unicode U+1D54F so the logo cannot be copyrighted and it is highly likely that it cannot be protected as a trademark.
Outside the visual logo, the trademark for the use of the name “X” in social media is held by Meta/Facebook, while the trademark for “X” in finance/commerce is owned by Microsoft.
The rebranding has been stopped in Japan as the term “X Japan” is trademarked by the band X JAPAN.
Elon had workers taking down the “Twitter” name from the side of the building. He did not have any permits to do this. The building owner called the cops who stopped the crew midway through so the sign just says “er”.
He still plans to call his streaming and media hosting branch of the company as “Xvideo”. Nobody tell him.
This man wants you to give him control over all of your financial information.
not that i didn’t want to believe you op, but i had to check that er thing out for myself, bc that just seemed too cartoonishly stupid to be real
