No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You know, leave.
Lmao good one.
You 'gon give it to ya'
All I've been able to think about since I heard "X" lol
Delete your account.
No seriously, do it
Delete your account, hopefully.
In seriousness, probably something like "Extend" or "XPost" even though those sound awful. They might just go back to just "post", maybe.
what do you do on x?
Usually dance. Talk to strangers. Petting animals is fun too.
You should follow the general advice: Don't send messages to your X.
I think you dont? Twitter has already lost so much relevance that the rebranding will just kill it. The x is actually two crossed planks nailed over the door.
Xcrete
You gon give it to em
Exit
eXceed rate limits
Embrace conservative anti-intellectualism.
post boomer memes
Delete my account.
Oh Gods -- on a lark I just typed "x.com" into my browser. One guess what website I ended up on? I'm imaging it now -- someone bought "x.com" 15 years ago and cursed the day they ever wasted money on it, yet hung onto it... Now they are on vacation in the tropics.
Elon bought it 20 years ago and has been sitting on it since while it's been burning a 43 billion dollar hole in his pocket
Apparently we're to call it an "X". A retweet will not be an "rxm" or some stupid nonsense like that
Retweets will be called XXX

Xcommunicate.
βplugβ seems right
edit: maybe βpegβ as an alternate
So the act of making a post on there is now officially called "getting pegged".
βpegging yourself for viewsβ

Only clearer by the day that this was all an exercise to intentionally kill Twitter to the benefit of billionaires, fascists and other extremists.
Twitter existed as a relatively free and open public space to communicate, organize and assemble to take actions for and against things at scale before musk (e.g. The Arab Spring, a terrifying moment for the Saudis especially - the second largest shareholder behind musk).
When people collectively laughed at elon and his cringe, inbred, emerald boy antics or his humiliating divorce and other routine failures, Twitter was the bullhorn.
Now elon and his desperate far right Toadies will work to try to rewrite reality so they can eventually have this conversation:
"Twitter? What's a Twitter? Wait, are you talking about blork? A bird? No, blork's logo is a dinosaur with chainsaw arms... and everyone wants to be his best friend... and it's against the law to divorce him... and he's cool... and..."
What an everlasting tool history will remember you as, elon. If they remember you at all, it will be to laugh at you - you'll never outrun that.
You are giving Elon way to much credit - I really doubt that he is playing 4D chess here. But letβs see π
I find it hard to believe Elon is playing 4d chess, I also think its unlikely that he could fuck up this comprehensively by accident.

x off
X-crete? X-pell? X-ume? X-it?
Leave it. The dumbass just keeps ignoring actual experts and ruining what was a decent-enough platform.
Xeet. Pronounced like you think it is.
My brain says βzitβ but with a long e. ZΔt.
Me too. Pretty standard way of pronouncing word-initial X in English.
