Pretty much the title. I think you all know what I’m talking about.
I still call it Twitter, because that’s what it is.
When he stops deadnaming his daughter, maybe I’ll start to care about his attempted rebrand of Twitter
This is the only sane response.
I still call Meta Facebook and alphabet Google… No one is confused, it’s only ambiguous if you start getting into logistics about business units
Twitter didn’t even reorganize, they just changed their name to something it feels dumb to say. It’s actually less ambiguous to call it Twitter, because X is a confusing trademark
Facebook is still Facebook and Google is still Google, though.
Musk didn’t create a parent company called X to manage the Twitter platform, he renamed the entire platform.
As a trans person, I like to remind everyone you are not just allowed but encouraged to deadname Twitter
Calling it deadnaming implies Twitter chose the name X. Twitter did not make that decision, thus calling Twitter Twitter is in no danger of offending Twitter.
Going to deadname Twitter as long as musk is deadnaming his daughter
Oohhh that’s a good one.
…what the heck is “deadnaming”?
Using a trans persons’s birth name rather than their preferred name. If done purposefully, it’s extremely insulting.
Thanks, I hadn’t heard the term.
Doesn’t have to be a trans person
Ooh. Excellent point. I will be disrespectfully deadnaming Twitter from now on.
As a cisgender person I’m so sorry for the shit other cisgender write on Twitter
The fuck? You don’t have to be sorry for what other people do. That’s other people.
What’s with all this carrying blame for shit other people have done just because you share an uncontrollable trait with them?
I understand your point but I’m not carrying blame. I see what people write and I’m so sorry it happens
Your virtue signal is a little bright. You should adjust the wattage.
I’m sorry I did not understand? Sarcasm perhaps?
Are you asking whether you’re sorry?
I’m asking what the other person wrote
Isn’t that hypocritical?
Only if you think corporate branding is equal to personal identification.
But… but corporations are more important than individuals
And corpos are people! Right?.. Right?
We should stop calling it.
I still call it Twitter.
And Meta will always be Facebook
I always call it FaceBook Inc. It’s absurd that that shit has always gone right past everyones observation. Prolly still clicking because upon seeing it you’re ass will do the denial your damn self instead of reading it upside down: zero responsibility for maintenance of spying products handle when a corporation is doing the gig and not the gorramn government.
But Facebook hasn’t renamed. It’s still Facebook, but under company called Meta.
Call it whatever you like under whatever, IDC. It’s the FBI.
I never liked Twitter that much to begin with, but it’s definitely not the same thing as it used to be. I’m fine with calling it X instead of Twitter because of that. X is a stupid name for a stupid social media platform. It’s fitting. It’s definitely not Twitter anymore, which ever way you want to look at it.
Just do what The Register does
Twitter, the social media service now calling itself X,
Respect, but… No.
Xitter. Pronounced shitter.
Does that make tweets xeets, pronounced shits?
Yes, yes it does. You xit xeets on the xitter.
Well, I hope that people xit on the xitter… Otherwise it’s not fun to clean up.
deleted by creator
Fucking brilliant.
This has been the most common name used for months now.
Xitter
Pronounced “shitter”
Tweets are Xcrements
The only acceptable answer
And tweets are xits
Or we can call it by the past tense “Twat”.
good one
It’s much easier to simply keep calling it Twitter. Further syllables add nothing.
Or you could call it what Linus on Wan show by Linus Tech Tips YT channel made up: ex-Twitter You essentially say both of the names and the fact that Twitter is the “old name”. But as a F-u to Musk, we should just call it Twitter.
I prefer xitter
Is my brain meant to pronounce this as Shitter?
Yes
Whatever floats your boat! There are multiple ways of calling it and I’ve just pointed out the one I find the funniest. What we can all agree on is that renaming Twitter was a bad idea. (and everything else he did also)
Yeah whatever float in a toilet.
Just call it Shitter, because that’s what it is.
Spelled “Xitter”
Just use the URL: twitter.com
X-twitter is my personal favorite. Ex-twitter works too.
TwitX
I’ve also seen Twixer, which I quite like.
I still just call it Twitter though. Maybe when Musk gets bored someone will buy it and change it back.
Or xitter, with the xi pronounced shi
Twitter, formerly know as successful
I still use the old names; Facebook, Twitter
I don’t care if they change their names. Less brain power used to stick to an old name most (still) know.Facebook is still called that. The social media platform, that is; the company that runs it is now called Meta, and it makes sense to distinguish those.
