I mean why would you wanna do that? just wwhy?
Maintaining existing CSS is hard. Luckily, usurping all of social media as an “everything app” will be trivial by comparison.

Step 1: Fire 80% of your programmers
Step 2: Promise new features including getting into banking and ecommerce and literally doing “everything”
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit(?)
kautau@lemmy.world 11 months ago
In step 3 is “lose 50% of your advertisers” and “completely destroy a well known brand that’s made its way into common nomenclature” among others
GonzoVeritas@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Elon has clearly shown that I can trust him with my finances. I am excited to turn all my personal data and money over to his excellently designed software and highly ethical company. What could go wrong?
Cybermass@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Step 3 is using chatGTP to break… I mean to build your site
Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 11 months ago
I can’t imagine wanting to use Twitter for anything critical after Elon axed the security and compliance teams. Like finance. You’re basically asking for your identity to be stolen.
onelikeandidie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Don’t they use tailwindcss at twitter? Must be easier to remove dim mode
kokiriflute@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Stop posting and upvoting musk spam.
ilickfrogs@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Better yet, Lemmy should get the much asked for ability to filter out keywords from our feeds. Musk, Twitter and reddit would be blocked immediately. I’m so sick of them.
Veedem@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I wish it would all just die and fade into obscurity, at this point. Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads all exist. There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.
RealThunderhop@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Threads needs to go too. In fact all sites that want to steal/sell all your data and control the whole world do.
HardlightCereal@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Fuck threads.
Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.
- Almost no one I follow on twitter is on those other sites
- Almost no one of the people that follow me are on those other sites
HawlSera@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Well that needs to change now doesn’t it?
stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
It’s so annoying. The people I follow keep complaining about musk. Their followers keep telling them to move to Mastodon. But they don’t. What are they scared of? They’ll lose followers? Because I’m pretty sure if they switch and put a link on their twitter, a lot will follow.
OtakuAltair@lemm.ee 11 months ago
For my use case (browsing art and comics, mainly japanese), Mastodon’s actually proving to be a worthy substitute. Some of the people I follow have already moved to it and Misskey
Most haven’t yet, but the tight-knit feel it has now isn’t too bad.
I post on both, but mainly browse Mastodon and encourage others to do the same.
OtakuAltair@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I’d much rather have twitter than threads, as bad as it may be
woelkchen@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Anyone actually cares at this point?
tekchic@kbin.social 11 months ago
Nope. Quit the bird site when he went full asshat. Barely used the bird site before but it was helpful for breaking news in the olden days. Other than potential A11Y legal action if it fails for contrast issues, I don't think anyone should care about this stupid site now. The tech community has moved on.
PoastRotato@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Who doesn’t like going to see a circus?
Anders429@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m guessing that no one here does. If you’re in Lemmy, you’re probably also using Mastodon instead of Twitter.
SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
I wish people were far more willing to just move on when the winds were changing, instead of sticking out for… god knows what reason
esty@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
yeah, but the Twitter migration problem is “everyone i follow is here and not there so why would i leave?” It’s not like lemmy or Reddit where the individual disappears behind the content
GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You clearly haven’t tasted the bottom of billionaire shoes.
Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
I don’t get why I’m supposed to leave twitter all of a sudden. Because people on Lemmy don’t like it?
lamprivate@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
I don’t really care but I find it interesting. Just how quickly he is destroying one of the worlds most recognizable companies.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah, this is a car wreck I can watch without backing up traffic behind me. Except the police are arresting some of the first responders while other first responders are punching the people who were in the wreck and the tow truck just pulled right into a car in one of the open lanes, work crews are hastily pulling down billboards and Elon is out there whistling to himself and adjusting the brightness of the street lights.
umbraroze@kbin.social 11 months ago
Elon: "I'm going to delete this thing."
Everyone else: "NO! Why would you do that kind of thing?"
Elon: "O-o-okay! B-b-but I'm going to delete something today! That other thing, then!"
(Elon continues to read the hypothetical The Best Of Dilbert's Pointy-Haired Boss book and gets so many ideas, folks)
snooggums@kbin.social 11 months ago
I thought changes were going to be voted on.
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Elon voted, I bet
TheSaneWriter@lemmy.thesanewriter.com 11 months ago
That gimmick lasted all of a day or two until Elon decided democracy was cringe when Twitter voted to oust him.
Tygr@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve learned more about Twitter/Ten coming to Lemmy then I ever have anywhere else. I’m amazing so many people care about it.
esty@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
it’s not a Roman numeral it’s actually called X as in the letter
…or, actually, 𝕏
slyme@lemmy.world 11 months ago

…It doesn’t really have that ring to it, does it?soEZ@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think that’s the joke on Lemmy as poster below !whooosh@lemmy.world

Twitter’s going save money by hosting their website on Geocities. The new plan only comes with 250mb of storage and that dancing baby gif is like 3mb easy. Gotta clean up somewhere.
rab@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I literally don’t care
CypherPsycho@lemmy.world 11 months ago
My guy elron is the one that’s dim…
Diplomjodler@feddit.de 11 months ago
And he’s the only one allowed to be dim.
popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
What is he going to Musk up next?
realbaconator@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Imo so he can bring it back as part of the paid features, the dude is looking for ways to make money in literally everything
Unaware7013@kbin.social 11 months ago
And he's so shit at it, especially on Twitter. Let's not forget about the dumb idiot going full fash and chasing a significant amount of advertisers away, I'm sure that helps his financial situation a lot.
new_guy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You mean pay for a CSS re-skin? To enable light mode??
TheSaneWriter@lemmy.thesanewriter.com 11 months ago
Yes, that seems to be the plan.
Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I mean, he kinda wants to make 40 billion dollars back… he ought to try to nickel and dime every single user
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
And I love that there will probably soon be browser extensions specifically to allow users to use custom css on Twitter (assuming they don’t already exist, which they probably do), so those who are still there and really want whatever themes he’s deleting still won’t have to pay him if that’s the plan. Which goes for anything that is handled on the client side, though some might be easier than others.
Though I gotta admit, I do like them setting dark mode as the default. Black text on white makes sense for paper and ink but for screens it’s just a lot of unnecessary light being blasted at you, wasting energy and making your eyes work harder.

He doesn’t like competition, especially at being fucking dim.
quortez@kbin.social 11 months ago
He should get that addiction to chewing wires sorted out
Kichae@kbin.social 11 months ago
He just needs to chew on bigger, thicker wires. The kinds with beefier plugs on the end of them.
LillianVS@lemmy.world 10 months ago
There’s no benefit to that… I don’t get it ._.
uhauljoe@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m pretty sure at this point he’s fully just doing a social experiment
seeing how feral people get the more he changes their addiction app
herrvogel@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Think of all the extra kilobytes of bandwidth they will save by not serving the dim theme CSS.
Naich@kbin.social 11 months ago
Has he been huffing burning plastic again?
MariaRomanov@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
Fuck twitter and fuck big tech
Jaysyn@kbin.social 11 months ago

fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
You can’t call yourself X and then not go all dark, that makes perfect sense.
I’m just waiting for the Radio X-like slogans, for the full effect : “we’re the end of the alphabet people, that’s got to mean something, but we don’t know what”_thisdot@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Where the fuck does he get these ideas? Is this a popular opinion?
d4rknusw1ld@kbin.social 11 months ago
He’s on the spectrum.

zerosignal@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Twittertanic?
MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Well, he did run the company into a revenue-destroying iceberg (in this case, iceberg = Elon Musk), and is now rearranging the deck chairs as the company sinks, so all Titanic references are apt.
Hextic@lemmy.world 11 months ago
IME new people in charge gotta “make some changes around here” to justify their position. But if you own it why?
