Let’s all start calling X, FB, IG, TikTok, etc the “legacy corporate social media”.

@wndxlori @AndrewHenry I also like “legacy surveillance platforms”, but your suggestion is likely more effective ️

@wndxlori Or you could do like I do and not interact with any of them. Also I will never call them anything but twitter and facebook until I am highly paid to call them something else. I quit twitter an facebook nearly 10 years ago due to the uptick in nazis and fascists on both sites.

[ireneista@adhd.irenes.space]

@wndxlori sounds like a plan

[timonus@mastodon.social]

@wndxlori @deeje corollary: it annoys me when people continue to call X “Twitter” because X is a dumb name. The company chose the dumb name, let it sound dumb! Don’t try to make it sound better.

Enjoy your annoyance, he doesn't get to appropriate a letter for his goddamn company. Or make me sound stupid saying it and having to disambiguate it. I'm deadnaming it until after its dissolution.

@Ulrich_the_elder an unfortunate number of family members use FB as a communication channel. I’m slowly working on them, to see how many I can extract

[ulrich_the_elder@thecanadian.social]

@wndxlori My family has a family facebook page. I am not part of it because I quit facebook almost 10 years ago. Every year I get one or two to join me. Those still on facebook are feeling more and more ashamed as time passes.

@wndxlori how do we do this with "AI"?

[wndxlori@ruby.social]

@burnitdown just start replying ai;dr

[burnitdown@beige.party]

@wndxlori that doesn't work in person

[lenarena@tech.lgbt]

@wndxlori More like: "Make their names reflect their sad, old, and behind the times nature."

[williamfonseca@bolha.us]

@wndxlori it's better call cringe

[angelastella@social.treehouse.systems]

@whybird @timonus @wndxlori @deeje

Fair enough.
