I prefer Wayland (.social) though

Context: Twitter is currently rebranding it self as X.com, which is the bottom logo. X.org is a FOSS implementation of the The X Window System which is being slowly replaced by the newer Wayland display server. Because of the Twitter rebrand Someone decided to make Wayland.social, to parody the X.org to Wayland transition.

Twitter is doing what? Why? ???
- Want everyone to stop talking about your mistakes and failures? Rebrand! Now everyone is focused on your new stupid logo!
  
  It totally worked for Xfinity
  
  Charter did the same and rebranded to Spectrum.
  
  This I understand, but why in the name of the gods both old and new to X?? Why just one letter? ~Does his brain not work?~
  
  Nvm figured it out
  
  Its rage bait and everyone is still promoting it
- Not why. X.
- Musk really likes the letter X, and his previous x.com venture from 1999 went belly up
  
  So, he’s rebranding his new toy to his favorite letter
  
  I thought x.com became paypal
  
  It was taken over by PayPal, yeah. PayPal was the better processor and didn’t want competition
  
  PayPal didn't have enough cash to expand as quickly as they wanted to though, so they merged with x.com to get ahold of that blood emerald money.
- Same reasons as reddit. Pure stupidity.
  
  Give spez a few weeks and he’ll have followed with a reddit rebrand.
  
  Coming soon: reddit changes its name to 𝕐, because 𝕐 not?
- Some megalomaniac man child thought it was a good idea.
- musk likes X better
