    I wonder how many (e)X-twitter users there will be after this change.

    Even Mastodon’s old lingo "toot"ing sounds more trendy than "x"ing a comment.

      If you remember back to your birthday cards as a kid when your loved ones put XOXO in the card… X is kisses.

      So Xing is pronounced Kissing!

        The X isn’t kisses. The X stand for closes eyes and the O is an open mouth, hence XO = kiss emote and XOXO is the plural

          Doesn’t “XOXO” mean “hugs and kisses”? The X represents a kiss and the O represents a hug.
