zipzoopaboop,

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

LSNLDN,

XfkaTwitter

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

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.

littlecolt,

I listen to NPR regularly and their people seem to like saying “Twitter, which is now known as X.” I dunno why though. I guess if someone doesn’t know?

Pratai,

We should stop calling it.

besmtt,

Just use the URL: twitter.com

SuperSpruce,

Whenever it occurs in spoken conversation, I call it X to highlight the absurdity of the rebranding. The other person either needs an explanation or a few seconds to figure out what I mean.

ohlaph,

What about just “Ten”?

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.

thefloweracidic,

I say we just ignore it, everytime someone mentions it one red blood cell enters the Muskian dick

DigitalTraveler42,

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

derpgon,

Spelled “Xitter”

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.

cashews_best_nut,

Xitter. Pronounced shitter.

corsicanguppy,

Fucking brilliant.

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.

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.

slazer2au,

Just do what The Register does

Twitter, the social media service now calling itself X,

BoastfulDaedra,

Respect, but… No.
