Not my account, just posting this on behalf of UK people I used to follow when I did have a twitter account. Elon deleted the UK.

  1. I believe flags are sorted alphabetically by how they are internally represented. All flags are a combination of two special letter-symbols. For the UK flag, these two symbols are “GB”, therefore the UK flag should be much earlier.
  2. 🇺🇸 (Flag of the USA [code: US]) ≠ 🇺🇲 (Flag of the US Outlying Islands [code: UM])

  Yes, the first US flag, which most people pick, is actually the flag of the US Outlying Islands. Whenever you see someone use the US flag emoji, check whether they accidentally used the " wrong" one.

    There’s a difference? I do need glasses but I can’t see any different between those 2 flags

    source

    • Bumblefumble@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      The only difference is the name of the emoji, the image itself is identical. There are also three Norwegian flag emojis for example, all identical.

    I love continuously pointing out that a public figure that so many refuse to believe has faults, does indeed have faults and is disliked by many for good reason.

    People are gonna bitch about the stuff they don’t like, that’s why I’m cool with you also doing the same here.

    • chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      so many refuse to believe has faults

      Maybe it’s because I don’t use Twitter but I haven’t actually seen any of this in years. Every single mention of Elon Musk I see is negative. From my perspective, Twitter was trash long before he bought it, even if he’s made it worse and keeps twisting the knife. All this complaining seems like a deflection by people who are addicted and need to keep rationalizing their continued use of the platform despite it being increasingly intolerable to them.

      How is that relevant to this obviously fake issue? Or do you actually believe that Elon Musk deleted a flag from a phone’s emoji list?

      This is NOT a bug or a mistake. If the UK flag hasn’t been gone for long this is a deliberate action by someone.

      twitter doesn’t have an emoji picker, and if it did, it would use the same iconography as the rest of the app, and, more importantly, the same emoji (except on iOS devices where they are forced to use apple’s emojis)

      source
    • MrSqueezles@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I haven’t used Twitter or X, but based on the image, that’s the keyboard. See the blue GIF icon? Likely X’s picker. The dark gray one below it is probably the keyboard sitting. Could be Samsung because I see the same thing in Samsung Keyboard, SwiftKey, and Gboard.

    Im 36 and Im still not clear which of the following is a nation state, and which isn’t:

    • England
    • Britain
    • Great Britain
    • The United Kingdom

      Britain/Great Britain are the name(s) of the island itself. The largest of the cluster of islands there off the coast of France and The Netherlands.

      The “countries” of England, Scotland and Wales are located on the island of Great Britain (and several of the smaller nearby islands). These are distinct political regions with their own governments.

      The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the “nation” made up of the three countries of Britain plus Northern Ireland, one of two “countries” located on the island of Ireland. The United Kingdom is the highest governmental body before you hit the international community; the UK has a desk at the United Nations, for example. It’s a “nation of countries” that is bound and fucking determined it’s not a federation despite being built a lot like one.

      England is the biggest country in Britain

      Britain is the island with England, Scotland and Wales on it

      Great Britain then also includes the entirety of Ireland, “standard” and Northern.

      The UK is governmental grouping of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as they share the same parliament. To a certain extent each country has their own government too (except for England as it just uses the UK’s government in London). An example of how they are their own countries and not just States of the one country would be like how the EU is, except if Belgium also used the main EU parliament also as their own.

      I don't think the (very old) CGP Grey video on the topic has been posted yet.
      https://youtu.be/rNu8XDBSn10?si=inPVvC7BkSELXSvi

      The only elements in this video I know to be out of date are the UK's membership of the EU (*shakes fist), and Barbados is now a republic.

      This is why I am always annoyed that England, Wales,and Scotland get to represent separately in international competitions. They’re essentially states, and you don’t see Texas turning up to the football world cup or something.
