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.

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.

I call it: “The thing formerly known as twitter”.

It’s short and concise, without using the actual stupid name, meaning not advertising “The thing formerly known as twitter”.

I’m still sticking with calling it “Y”

“Y” is already taken, by something called an “existential crisis”

Twix

Too lazy to do that.

I think x works if you think of it as short for excrement

How about “The platform formerly known as Twitter” since the name has been changed to a nonsensical symbol instead of a meaningful word?

Techdirt agrees with you

Or just keep it more compact: Xitter.

Pronounced with sh.
