Was it intentionally named after the Italian word for "desert" (deserto) because he expects it to be a dried up wasteland, or was it just a coincidence?

I have no idea lol, they mostly talk about topics that are trending on X, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

Upon reading the title again, I now realise Dexerto were just reporting on it... Woo, 420 no-scope!

Gonna leave the original up, let's all laugh at that guy!

Upon reading your comment I couldn't figure out what it meant.

Now I think that X's new video thing isn't called Dexerto.

A website called Dexerto reported on the story.

Now did I get it right?

Yep, that's exactly it! Dexerto has apparently existed as a general social outlet for a while, from what I've gathered. Overall media coverage.

Completely unrelated to Mulch's new thing.

Edit: would've been a sick burn (my opinion), but now I just feel bad:))

That's hilarious because Dexerto is a plausible name for it lol

Right?! I didn't even think twice about it, like of course he'd add an "x" to whatever he makes next! I mean, what's he got left, "y" and "z," and neither has any of that edgy zing.
