I will never call it “X,” just like I will never call Facebook “Meta.”

Good on you for being principled. I experience the same sort of feeling, and I’ve tried to just redirect that need for content into other media.

Don’t be too complacent, of course. I’ve seen people on the Fediverse turn feral and Reddit-esque during discussions of particular culture war issues. It’s not completely peachy here all the time; there are some subjects about which some people can’t help losing their composure.

How so? This post is not stopping anyone from enjoying the app.

Nobody is not letting them be.

How is this meme stopping people from enjoying things?

That’s not great, but I don’t think it would be utterly terrible.
