Since nobody likes calling it X, why don't we call the platform "ex-twitter"? That way it's technically true, and everybody knows what you're talking about.

Lil nas X should rename himself to Lil Nas Twitter

Or just keep it more compact: Xitter.

Pronounced with sh.

I will still call it twitter. I hope twitter either dies or becomes a giant nostr relay.

𝕏 sounds stupid so I say it, its old brand was something it currently does not deserve

imagine being an 𝕏 user 𝕏ing on their 𝕏 and re𝕏ing other people’s 𝕏es

I think they changed it to “post”

I mean, it still is Twitter. That’s the URL that people use to access the site. Tbh I have no idea if Musk actually went through the effort of changing the company name in the business licensing or other company paperwork. Just the logo and header seem to say X. But I agree, I’m getting so annoyed with journalists calling it “the site formerly known as Twitter.” so dumb.

They are probably doing it for SEO.

Okay, but what about filling the page? How do we get the page FULLLLLL? Ads? Probably.

Who wouldn’t know what you were talking about if you just called it Twitter?

Don’t cater to the whims of billionaires. Not even a little.

Could just stop talking about it all together.

Keep calling it Twitter but add @Deprecated so future users know to avoid it?

AphoticDev , 10 months ago

I mean, I just still call it Twitter. Probably will until the end of it.

Same. Out of respect for the original company’s employees, founders, and devs.

Anything is fine as long as we call tweets xcrements

Just call it Twitter since Elon doesn’t believe in calling people by their names

Hush.

Personally I think X premium is a better name

Franzia , 10 months ago

Playing into it and calling it X does actually reduce the effectiveness of twitter’s branding. Just call it X, let people be confused, and let that kill the fun so they will just move on already.
