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.

It’s Xitter (shitter) and nothing else.

coaxil , 10 months ago

I’ve been calling it ten

Twits for short. Just overall, forever.

KrimsonBun , 10 months ago

or just not talk about it

books , 10 months ago

Yup.

What the fuck is the point of everyone mentions that it was “formerly twitter”.

Call it nothing and let it die

Pratai , 10 months ago

Why don’t we just stop talking about it altogether.

If you’re so keen on renaming twitter then maybe don’t make fun of Elon wanting to do the same.

It’s twitter. Always has been.

kubok , 10 months ago

I'll just keep referring it to as Twitter if I ever need to talk about it.

Corporations don’t get to have deadnames

snausagesinablanket , 10 months ago

How about we ghost it until it becomes irrelevant instead.

JJROKCZ , 10 months ago

I just don’t talk about the name change, pretty similar to how I’ve barely given twitter notice for the past decade

I like Xitter. Kinda like shitter if you pretend it’s like a Chinese x sound

He deadnames his own child, and yet gets butthurt when the internet deadnames his company. I feel like just “Twitter” is the biggest insult we could collectively give to him as a person, in this context.

Carighan , 10 months ago

Exactly. This. Twitter. That’s it. Melon Husk doesn’t get a say, he ought to be ignored completely by everyone.

marcos , 10 months ago

Just call it X. If nobody understands what you are talking about, consider it a positive.

s38b35M5 , 10 months ago

Techdirt agrees with you

guyrocket , 10 months ago

How about just STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.

sour , 10 months ago

you don't need to yell

guyrocket , 10 months ago

No need to be sour about it.

sour , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

no need to make fun of people's names

Hardeehar , 10 months ago

I’ve been calling it 10

Play it cool. Nobody’s going to know you’re a time traveling Roman

“Hey guys, did you see what’s trending on 10?”
