I like the sass, but do people know what you’re talking about in spoken conversation?

You think the people posting snarky shit on the internet are engaging in spoken conversation with other humans? I promise we’re not.

Just call it X. If nobody understands what you are talking about, consider it a positive.

How about “The platform formerly known as Twitter” since the name has been changed to a nonsensical symbol instead of a meaningful word?

He deadnames his own child, and yet gets butthurt when the internet deadnames his company. I feel like just “Twitter” is the biggest insult we could collectively give to him as a person, in this context.

Exactly. This. Twitter. That’s it. Melon Husk doesn’t get a say, he ought to be ignored completely by everyone.

I call it: “The thing formerly known as twitter”.

It’s short and concise, without using the actual stupid name, meaning not advertising “The thing formerly known as twitter”.
