Maybe @jack and talk Elon in to giving him twitter.com since he’s no longer using it. The original twitter domain was registered by Jack as twttr.com before twitter.com was purchased. I forget if it was $15,000 or $25,000 for the vowels.
We could then relaunch twitter as a protocol not a platform. :)

Probably still one of the most valuable domains that will ever exist
Will it still be called twitter? As in “I’m on twitter!” or will it be “I’m on X “
I’m not clear on the rebranding!
Wouldn't that be amazing
It IS brilliant and simple. It’s what birds do, and the bluebird logo was/is playful, iconic and referential. Eel should stick to his sleek electronics and rocket ships.
Just thinking about that gives me goosebumps of awesomeness
Maybe we'd even get a for-profit company on nostr too, that could be big.
@ODELL as the resident domain expert.
Didn't @jack say twitter wants to be free? Maybe this is how?
👀
I’d rather move on and embrace the ostrich!
Rebrand to ostrich!
Elon will just forever point it to x.com or whatever he changes it to..
Where X is used as a standard placeholder - brilliant strategy

‘Look How They Massacred My Boy’
tweet by @jack about the state of things about Twitter was a powerful tweet and actually made me sad.
Hope we change that and free the bird again. 

Yes. The pathos in that scene is perhaps the most powerful of all the scenes of that jam-packed cinematic extravaganza. So apropos that this was the euphemism that Jack chose to express himself. I was wondering how he felt at the rape and pillage of his cherished brainchild.
Here is the thread it takes place at.

X (formerly Twitter)
jack (@jack) on X

This seems hopeful. It won't happen.
Jack built something good but imperfect. It was early and valuable, and inspired us to help build something better, which Jack himself embraced earlier than most of us.
Elon is the Hexxus in Ferngully, running over this stuff. He's the Cypher of The Matrix. He's the character that seemed likable at the start of the movie, which is what fuels him to become the archvillain at the end of the movie.
I don't make the rules.
We all know this will never happen, the blue bird is finally free.
Are there some news from the Twitter front?

Let's do it!
I doubt he will let it go, the amount of links to the twitter domain alone is insane
There is that pesky 301 redirect.
Lyn you are the greatest! 😭🤭😆😂
I like the idea of twitter being a client of nostr more, rather than making twitter a whole protocol.
I love my ostriches 

It's great, I just joined.
I'm thoroughly amazed.
🫂
View quoted note → Like a client may be. Twitter itself as a nostr client, zaps enabled. 🥰
Yes
You are on Nostr 😉

🙏💜🫶
Is there a place where we can see how much of corporate already has claimed a namespace on nostr
Welcome brother 💜🫂
There are a bunch of companies operating in the nostr space, mostly small companies building things like nos.social, coracle, primal, etc…
Lol Lyn..🤔😁
Not trying to nitpick cos it is cool, but flash means trigger epileptic warning
You seemed to be very protective of Jack Dorsey. As a married woman mentioned in your inspirational post, I wonder how your husband think about this?!
If he is totally ok with it, I assume he can be the role model of most men.

i haven’t had coffee yet
Spiritually, Elon is just an infant soul, controlled entirely by his ego. He is far from awake.
If I recall from the press, Jack still owns about 1B of Twitter stock. He didn’t tender his shares?
Let many flowers bloom
😂 damn rait!!! I just can’t let go… twitter used to be fun!!
#nostriche #nostr #iheartnostr #nostrpleb #zaps #grownostr
he seems to be removing everything twitter branding.. erasing the bird. Time will tell..
tweets will be called… ??? x-messages?
Narcissisme+++ type de personnalités dites difficiles qui fait du mal à ceux ayant le spectre d'Asperger, et Twitter l'a mis en lumière depuis des années et n'a fait qu'exacerber ses maux sans oublier un parcours de vie qu'il ne cesse de réinscrire et ses fans qui n'ont rien compris...il s'est planté ou par contrainte d'ordre légal à obtenir à coût de crédit son objet du désir il me rappelle Golum seigneur des anneaux et triste de plus il a une certaine propension à adorer les tracas judiciaires qui lui tombent dessus de jour en jour tout est source de déformation à son propre égard ..il a réellement besoin d'aide ..m'est avis il serait très heureux de bosser Jack qu'il admire 🙏💜
Si ça existe en France et aux USA je pense également
Oui
Très bien comme terme genialite, fallait le créer
Sans les voyelles il me semble
twttr?
Yeah but I mean. The big boys. Fortune 500 companies. They all eventually want their nip-05 setup. I see huge opportunity for streamlining these big businesses into nostr. The first ones are going to have a leg up over the rest.
