eXitter seems to be the correct name at the moment.

x can be pronounced as sh, so…shitter?

When you see the sewage that’s being spewed there it’s as good as any other name.

I still call it Twitter, because that’s what it is.

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

Moobythegoldensock,

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.

This is the only sane response.

nickhammes,

When he stops deadnaming his daughter, maybe I’ll start to care about his attempted rebrand of Twitter

cashews_best_nut,

Xitter. Pronounced shitter.

corsicanguppy,

Fucking brilliant.

@M137@lemmy.world avatar

This has been the most common name used for months now.

MystikIncarnate,

Does that make tweets xeets, pronounced shits?

unrelatedkeg,

Yes, yes it does. You xit xeets on the xitter.

MystikIncarnate,

Well, I hope that people xit on the xitter… Otherwise it’s not fun to clean up.

KmlSlmk64,

Or you could call it what Linus on Wan show by Linus Tech Tips YT channel made up: ex-TwitterYou 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.

unrelatedkeg,

I prefer xitter

Emwe,

Is my brain meant to pronounce this as Shitter?

lemmyseikai,

Yes

KmlSlmk64,
@KmlSlmk64@lemmy.world avatar

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)

sombresu,

Yeah whatever float in a toilet.

JadenSmith,

I still call it Twitter.

Thorny_Insight,

And Meta will always be Facebook

Chakravanti, (edited )

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.

derpgon,

But Facebook hasn’t renamed. It’s still Facebook, but under company called Meta.

Chakravanti, (edited )

Call it whatever you like under whatever, IDC. It’s the FBI.

General_Shenanigans,

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.

As a trans person, I like to remind everyone you are not just allowed but encouraged to deadname Twitter

Cold_Brew_Enema,

Isn’t that hypocritical?

abbotsbury,
@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

Only if you think corporate branding is equal to personal identification.

Really_long_toes,

But… but corporations are more important than individuals

Lemminary,

And corpos are people! Right?.. Right?

BoastfulDaedra,

…what the heck is “deadnaming”?

Witchfire, (edited )
@Witchfire@lemmy.world avatar

Using a trans persons’s birth name rather than their preferred name. If done purposefully, it’s extremely insulting.

BoastfulDaedra,

Thanks, I hadn’t heard the term.

flicker,

Ooh. Excellent point. I will be disrespectfully deadnaming Twitter from now on.

morphballganon,

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.

tired_n_bored,

As a cisgender person I’m so sorry for the shit other cisgender write on Twitter

Arcane_Trixster,

Your virtue signal is a little bright. You should adjust the wattage.

tired_n_bored,

I’m sorry I did not understand? Sarcasm perhaps?

corsicanguppy,

Are you asking whether you’re sorry?

tired_n_bored,

I’m asking what the other person wrote

capital,

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?

tired_n_bored,

I understand your point but I’m not carrying blame. I see what people write and I’m so sorry it happens

SkaveRat,

Going to deadname Twitter as long as musk is deadnaming his daughter

PrincessLeiasCat,

Oohhh that’s a good one.

Buffalox,

I cal it “The thing formerly known as Twitter.”, because it’s short and to the point.
Just like when Musk tries to explain one of his many lies, like why the self driving cars he promised would be ready in 2017 haven’t arrived yet.
Also it doesn’t really matter if we call it a failed banking app, or a failed video app, or a failed message app. All of those are true. But it’s shorter and easier to just call it “The thing formerly known as Twitter”. Then everybody knows what you are talking about.

xia,

The PLATFORM formerly known as twitter.

Pneuma,

Is it still a platform tho? It sure looks more like a cliff to me nowadays.

Buffalox,

But what platform is it really? Video? Banking? Or what Twitter used to be? IMO it’s no longer a well defined platform as much as it’s just a “thing” that is whatever Musk dreamt up last. It used to be Twitter, but it isn’t even that anymore.

DigitalTraveler42,

Just call it Shitter, because that’s what it is.

derpgon,

Spelled “Xitter”

vinylshrapnel,

I pronounce it “not c” instead of x

BoastfulDaedra,

Come to think of it, “X” is awfully close, as a glyph, to a swastika.

slazer2au,

Just do what The Register does

Twitter, the social media service now calling itself X,

BoastfulDaedra,

Respect, but… No.

pineapplelover,

Xitter

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Pronounced “shitter”

scottywh,

The only acceptable answer

@Witchfire@lemmy.world avatar

Tweets are Xcrements

habitualTartare,

X-twitter is my personal favorite. Ex-twitter works too.

sanguinepar,
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

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.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Or we can call it by the past tense “Twat”.

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

good one

zipzoopaboop,

I ignore it whenever possible but if I do say anything, it’s called Twitter

LSNLDN,
