I always refer to it as X, to remember people that the twitter they knew is long dead
But that’s what Elon wants, and fuck that guy.
Twitter or Xitter for me. Maaaaybe X (formerly known as Twitter), but never X alone.
Especially because it’s a fucking confusing name in a tech space. I swear I thought the headline referred to X Window at first.
Well, in my experience, calling it Twitter or any variation helps people stay in negation about the fact that Twitter is dead, and calling it x makes people more likely to open their eyes and delete their account, and losing users is what really hurts musk. I already helped all the people from my close friends circle to move out from that shit.
I guess both actions have ups and downs.
To me, calling it Twitter reminds me of the shitty shit Twitter has ever been. I never liked the thing. I vividly remember when BBC started quoting random tweets - it made me a little sick. Then all news outlets followed suit.
And if Elon hates it that people call it Twitter, then even better!
