They didn’t leave X six months ago, they left Twitter six months ago. The rebrand did not start until July.

I had a really old Twitter account going back to 2009, maybe 2008. I don’t even remember. Back then it was great for connecting with friends, making plans, meeting new people, etc. I hadn’t done anything meaningful with it in years so I logged in to see if it was really as bad as everyone was claiming.

Narrator: It was.

Within a month I was simultaneously a fascist, an anarchist, a bootlicker, a socialist, and a troll. I think I had posted a picture of a cup of coffee and maybe my cat.

Deleted, moved on with life.

why does the title say X when the article - and most people - still call it twitter?

NPR doesn’t produce inflammatory, biased news and clickbait headlines, so this is not surprising in the least.

It’s ok to call it by its real name “Shit Hole” as well.

Why should I call it that when calling it X devalues the company?

The Twitter brand was the most valuable part of the business. If Elon wants to shoot himself in the nuts, I’m not going to stop him.

I prefer “X/Twitter/Whatever” for that same reason. Making it a confusing mess means “X” can never really be a valuable brand imo
