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.

It's so generic, the logo is literally on Unicode.

Don't believe me? I can just type ๐• out like this.. What's worse is that Google and YouTube and Wikipedia all pretend that it's just a regular X.

And for those wondering, it's a "mathematical double-struck capital x".

I kinda wonder what makes it "mathematical"

[โ€“] Spike@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

The fancy line that barely distinguishes it from any other X, capital or not or maybe with a wiggly line, so you get extra confused in your proof on line 13 or something.

In set theory, this style, blackboard bold is used to represent "special sets", for example the set of all integers
