shinigamiookamiryuu,

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

good one

habitualTartare,

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

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.

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

pineapplelover,

Xitter

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Pronounced “shitter”

scottywh,

The only acceptable answer

Tweets are Xcrements

It’s much easier to simply keep calling it Twitter. Further syllables add nothing.

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?

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.

xkforce,

Its literally twitter.com and I despise musk so its called twitter for all of time.

OpenStars,

Twitter belonged to the people using it. It is appropriate to call it X for cancelled now.

Though similar to you, I always call it Twitter/X, in honor of what it used to be.

mawkishdave,
@mawkishdave@lemmy.world avatar

The dumpster fire formally called Twitter.

GroundedGator,

Just call it lil musk’s ego

TheInsane42,
@TheInsane42@lemmy.world avatar

eXitter seems to be the correct name at the moment.

gilokee,
@gilokee@lemmy.world avatar

x can be pronounced as sh, so…shitter?

TheInsane42,
@TheInsane42@lemmy.world avatar

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

NeoNachtwaechter,

Whether you call it Ex-twitter or X-twitter, I don’t really care :-)

slazer2au,

Just do what The Register does

Twitter, the social media service now calling itself X,

BoastfulDaedra,

Respect, but… No.

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.
