Another advertiser claimed it hasn't runs a paid ad campaign on X in years, regardless of X serving its ads to users.

      Set a filter for capital ’ X ’ (with a space on either side) as well as ’ X.’ (left space + period)

        Eh, it’s not that simple… There’s a windowing system on Linux, and an old punk band from LA, and a whole generation…

          Running away from the X windowing system might not be that bad though 😉

            Unix Blasphemy!!

            I do love X though (not the Twitter rebrand - Motif for life!!). A simple X program is/was so portable, but I guess not many people care anymore.

            But for some stupid reason, most Linux users have nvidia, which doesn’t play well with Wayland (or X, for that matter…)

          Also, how am I going to look for MDMA pills in the late 90s US?

          Not to mention the phrase, X marks the spot.

          It’s not a perfect solution, no, but it’s a solution.

          Personally, none of those would hold me back, but to each their own.

      Just keep calling it Twitter and campaign for other people to do the same.

      I still deadname it and call it Twitter. I refuse to call it X.
