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

Let’s all start calling X, FB, IG, TikTok, etc the “legacy corporate social media”. Make them sound sad and old and behind the times.

@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.

[burnitdown@beige.party]

@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.
