It all started with the unofficial godot discord admin dealing with some chuds and people turning their ire towards the Godot Foundation staff instead.

Since Godot has stubbornly remained on the Xitter nazi bar as a valid space for PR and social media interaction and dared to promote the Wokot hashtag and reiterate their progessiveness, the reactionaries infesting that space are now piling on their socials and harassing everyone they can get their eyes on.

Examples

Anyway, solidarity with the targets of harassment. I hope they finally realize that Xitter is a lost cause.

Update: Godot is being review-bombed

Fortunately the reactionary backlash seems to be having the opposite effect

    ‘Xitter’ is pronounced ‘Shitter’ and is common a playful joke

      Ah I see. I would pronounce it “Zitter” but fair enough. I guess if you’re Chinese?

        English doesn’t really have a well defined way to write down the “zjush” from the “su” in pleasure.

        The most accepted ways are “zh” or “x” in English, or ʒ in IPA.

        Since most people call it twitter, and Elon want to call it x, so people push them together to make xitter, because it sounds like “shitter” (the crude term for toilet) and because the quality of twitter has declined dramatically to the point that it resembles an unclean toilet.

          Interesting. I think zjitter would be the closest I would intuitively pronounce that way.

          I don’t really know anything about the quality of X but I think resorting to name calling is insanely. (Some with Micro$oft etc. - haven’t seen that one for a while!)
