All three game console makers, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony, have now abandoned X (formerly Twitter) integration

How I wish that were true.

Nobody wants to do business with unstable nazis people

Plenty of businesses ready and willing to do business with stable (and rich) Nazis, dictators and slavers. Look at the line of people and businesses more than ready to make deals with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China, etc

If you are rich and have a stable government, there's no amount of human rights violations and genocides stopping corrupt fuckers from trying to make deals with you and profit.

Any company that appeals to conservatives loves to do business with Nazis.

Nah, plenty of people want to do business with nazis. Unfortunately.

Five people here think Nazi business is fine. Yikes.

e: wait, 6.

e2: hey guys! Lemmy doesn’t have vote fuzzing yet! (just noticing. there’s no conspiracy here … or is there?)

There are stable geniuses, but I want nothing to do with them.

nah, this is how the web was always designed to work.

If you're on social media I don't really care what you have to say, if it was anything important it would be in traditional medias.

Metal bands that hang out on the Nazi website? Okay.

This is problem with platform lock in. Be it discord, X, FB groups, Reddit. Communities form and then fragment as the members who realize there are better open options leave.

The users of the web have enough desktop and laptop cpu cycles to spare for passing a few decentralized messages around without killing battery life or performance. We don’t need these experience degrading/dehumanizing ad platforms to underpin our internet. That’s just a narrative peddled by companies who aim to make obscene profit on top of their already obscene profits.

When you describe someone else's grievance as "someone you don't like" or "says something you think is bad", you're adding an implication that the actual reason is irrelevant. It makes it look like you don't understand the reason at best, or are deliberately minimizing it at worst.

"If there's a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis."

You made a coherent argument as to why you use a service, specific to yourself. You get downvoted for doing so. Never change, lemmy.

...Or, perhaps, do change. Y'all can still sniff your own farts if y'all pull y'all's heads slightly out of your asses.

I'm sure you're not a piece of shit, but by still having a Twitter account equals to supporting the platform and its owner (a proven piece of shit). Even if you're not giving it any traffic by being logged in or following users (which you're doing), you'd be giving it your support.

By unfollowing your sports people and quitting the shithole altogether you're sending a clear message that the platform is dying (it's already dead for many) and it's high time for people to find alternatives.

Right, that seems obvious. That's what I was talking about being of no value. Nobody needs to watch anyone's console game clips on Twitter.

Every once and a while I wonder if that might have happened

Imagine if instead of X, Δ, O, and ☐ it was 4 different religious symbols. Like those "coexist" bumper stickers.

Well shit. And here I’ve been holding it at a 45 degree angle all this time.

Factually correct :) Sony use symbols not letters

Twitter as a login doesn’t need api access and it’s still free

They need to pay the absurd fees when they post screenshots on behalf of users. So, since it’s not a very important feature, it doesn’t make sense to pay at least half a million dollars per year for that

Does the NAZI porn involve blond blue-eyed Frauleins in skimpy leather gear with wipps dominating willing slaves?

Asking for a friend.

No. There are still a lot of serious journalists on it. It is still a very important media for journalists to quickly share information.

Sorry but It was never that. I joined back in 2016 because everyone said it was the best for fast news and that was a Canadian election year. I didn't last a week, it was just one liners from "journalist" and a plethora of trolls and people slinging shit at each other

Imagine how bad it was for news, that I wound up liking Reddit more because there was a modicum of moderation

Also the entire games industry is still on it and the move to Bluesky or mastadon ended in a stalemate. It’s the only online place outside of invite only discord servers where you can network with fellow game devs.

My main issue with the serious journalism is that there's apparently no way to sort a feed by time/latest date anymore... what is the point of seeing a random assortment of news from any number of years? Maybe it looks different if you log in, but it used to be my main source of local news & weather before.

Perhaps, with them no longer being able to easily upload clips to twitter from consoles, they'll be less inclined to participate on twitter. I agree it's not going to change much, though. I wonder how many people were even using this built-in integration anyway?

I know that more kids play video games daily then most adults that work and pay bills, which is besides the point. Most of the time it seems youngers use Discord to communicate then Twiter, when playing games, be regardless of what things might seem.

By removing Twitter from major gaming platforms would make Twitter less relevant to that market which is a lot, over time. It will almost look like Myspace in a sense. (not necessarily that Twitter would be closed down but just that they likely aren't likely going to be using it even willingly, over something like Discord or Instagram.

Zitter to me, which is kinda gross

Shylophone, shaver, shenon...checksh out.

Zitter

Nintendo would be spamming ban hammer, Xbox would be full of spam, and PS would be full of Japanese posts & memes lol

its perfect.

I love this recurring post. Please keep it up.

Technology isn't news?? 😩

Just rented a Tesla on holiday. None of it works while driving.

Have to say though I do like the car!

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but I will assume you aren't.

You see, X is the terrible new name for Twitter that we all hate, and so these vidya game companies are removing Twitter integration from their consoles. They're axing the integration (meaning they're killing it with an axe). Axe sounds like X.

Nope there's a feature that lets you download the screenshot to your phone wirelessly

Xitter being pronounced "shitter" is pretty apt tho

A year back this was a joke. But now it's true.

It is classic Nintendo, to have some annoying awkward system for a thing that has been already done well for years.

I recall being baffled by the Wii friend code system when Xbox live was so clearly better in every way

Getting screenshots or videos off the Switch is laughably arcane. Nintendo is so weird about modern tech conveniences.

use it as leverage for a massive end of year bonus.

Hahahahaha. Right. Like saving the company any money comes back as a bonus to the person. Best we can do is a shitty award on slightly thicker 8.5”x11” paper.
