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.

Is the use of back-slash instead of forward-slash an attempt to confuse any potential users?

Nope just been a long time since I've written out the hypertext protocol lol, I guess my memory is failing in my old age.

Pipe-slash Slash-pipe is an acceptable band name.
