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.

or maybe eX-twitter
How about we ghost it until it becomes irrelevant instead.
99ReplyHow about just STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.

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.
55ReplyExactly. This. Twitter. That's it. Melon Husk doesn't get a say, he ought to be ignored completely by everyone.

Call it nothing and let it die
41ReplyI've been calling it Xitter. The X is pronounced "sh."
40ReplyI like the sass, but do people know what you’re talking about in spoken conversation?
5ReplyYou think the people posting snarky shit on the internet are engaging in spoken conversation with other humans? I promise we're not.

When you're tweeting you're X-crementing. Think about that.
1Reply
Why don’t we just stop talking about it altogether.
32ReplyI feel like it'll piss off the shitbag more if no one calls it X, so, that's what I'm going with
32ReplyCould just stop talking about it all together.
31ReplyI'll just keep referring it to as Twitter if I ever need to talk about it.
29ReplyCorporations don’t get to have deadnames

I like Xitter. Kinda like shitter if you pretend it's like a Chinese x sound
29Replybrb posting a Xeet real quick.
10ReplyWe have truly come full circle.
4Reply
Oooor how bout we just fucking stop talking about and using Twitter
26Reply[I don't think about you at all meme]
5Reply
I've been calling it 10
24ReplyPlay it cool. Nobody's going to know you're a time traveling Roman
"Hey guys, did you see what's trending on 10?"
25Reply
...or - hear me out here - we all just stop using that asswipe's platform?!?
Crazy, I know!
21Replyor just not talk about it
21ReplyYup.
What the fuck is the point of everyone mentions that it was "formerly twitter".
3Reply
It’s twitter and always will be twitter until dick bag fully runs it into the ground.
20ReplyJust call it Twitter since Elon doesn't believe in calling people by their names
16ReplyI just don’t talk about the name change, pretty similar to how I’ve barely given twitter notice for the past decade
15ReplyI prefer Xitter, but to make it more apparent what the pronunciation is I spell it out more phonetically as "shitter".
14ReplyWho 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.
13ReplyI mean, I just still call it Twitter. Probably will until the end of it.
12ReplyWhich hopefully comes soon
5ReplySame. Out of respect for the original company's employees, founders, and devs.
1Reply -1Reply
It's Xitter (shitter) and nothing else.
11ReplyI've been calling it ten
4Reply
The
artist formerly known as Princeplatform formerly known as Twitter. 11ReplyYeah I think twitter is fine. Plus it might drive the rat king out of his marbles.
11ReplyI'm cool with just never calling it.
10ReplyI think we should call it "Ten".
8ReplyKeep calling it Twitter but add @Deprecated so future users know to avoid it?
7Reply𝕏 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
7ReplyOk that's pretty funny. I'm not familiar with the site but the publish button used to read "Tweet" didn't it? Is it just 𝕏 now?
1ReplyI think they changed it to "post"
2Reply
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.
6ReplyThey are probably doing it for SEO.
3ReplyAnd it's 5 free words for the 500 word article that could be summed in 40!
2Reply
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.
6Reply$8chan.
5ReplyAnything is fine as long as we call tweets xcrements
5ReplyJust call it X. If nobody understands what you are talking about, consider it a positive.
5ReplyI’m still sticking with calling it “Y”
5Reply"Y" is already taken, by something called an "existential crisis"
8ReplyWell “existential crisis” does seem to sum it all up pretty nicely!
2Reply
or just leave that shit hole platform and stop talking about it
5ReplyIf 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.
5ReplyI call it xruth social
5ReplyOr twitter, for short
5ReplyToo lazy to do that.
4ReplyTwix
4ReplyI prefer "site formerly know as twitter" most
4ReplyI think x works if you think of it as short for excrement
3ReplyTechdirt agrees with you
3ReplyI 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".
3ReplyOr just keep it more compact: Xitter.
Pronounced with sh.
2ReplyTwits for short. Just overall, forever.
2ReplyI don't know, most people think I'm way more interesting when I tell them I spent all weekend on X.
(I didn't, the cool one or the Twitter one)
1Replyhow about TWX?... ( pronounced ..twicks)
1ReplyTwitX
1ReplyLil nas X should rename himself to Lil Nas Twitter
1ReplyPersonally I think X premium is a better name
0ReplyI will still call it twitter. I hope twitter either dies or becomes a giant nostr relay.
0ReplyHow about "The platform formerly known as Twitter" since the name has been changed to a nonsensical symbol instead of a meaningful word?
-1ReplyHush.
