     @seraph @pluralistic Good grief, it’s the Yahoo “medireview” bug all over again. You know the one: Yahoo replaced potentially dangerous JavaScript commands with more innocuous synonyms in emails. As a global search and replace, with no regard for context (like spaces or punctuation). “eval” got replaced with “review”, and all of a sudden, people interested in history from 500 to 1500 years ago were reading about “medireview” topics.

     *Twenty-three years ago.*

     @clacke @mrundkvist Nope - I only heard about that one via someone who had reviewuated the situation and posted a summary on a blog or something like that.

     @jscholes @seraph @BorrisInABox It's actually the other way around: "netflitwitter" becomes "netflix". It looks like they're just doing a string search for "twitter.com" and swapping it out with "x.com", so if someone makes a post linking to netflitwitter.com, it will look like netflix.com

     @seraph I don't get it. If it replaces twitter dot com with x dot com, how does "netflix" become "netflitwitter"? For that to happen, they'd have to be replacing x dot com with twitter dot com. @BorrisInABox

     @peterbutler @toxy @seraph in the other comments there are some explanations what might be going on. Might not be a hoatwitter after all

     @toxy @seraph Correct. I think the meme is a hoax

     @seraph Surely it’s the other way around? “twitterverse.com” would become “xverse.com”. Am I missing something or just going mad?
