You can polish a turd, but at the end of the day it'll just be shiny shit.

Rebranding won't save the sinking ship that is Twitter. Making it a better platform might actually save it, but Musk is not interested in that, he just wants to make money.

Yeah dude, it's the brand that's the problem, you've figured it out.

After this, everyone will love it.

Yep, just like all of Facebook's problems went away after they renamed to Meta. Turns out it was all just a bad brand image to begin with! Nothing to do with out of touch billionaires running companies into the ground, just slap a new logo on it.

Is that code word for running it into the ground?

The poes law on Musk tweet screenshots is through the roof. I have absolutely no idea if this is real.

It can be Messtodon. Like mastodon but far worse.

If not for Elon I wouldn't have gone to Mastodon and in extension to Lemmy.

So, this is kinda nice. :)
