Since nobody likes calling it X, why don't we call the platform "ex-twitter"? That way it's technically true, and everybody knows what you're talking about.

or maybe eX-twitter

I feel like it’ll piss off the shitbag more if no one calls it X, so, that’s what I’m going with
The artist formerly known as Prince platform formerly known as Twitter.
It’s twitter and always will be twitter until dick bag fully runs it into the ground.
Yeah I think twitter is fine. Plus it might drive the rat king out of his marbles.
I’ve been calling out Xitter. The X is pronounced “sh.”
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.
Name… honestly doesn’t check out.
Don’t judge me and my lack of voice module.
When you’re tweeting you’re X-crementing. Think about that.
I think x works if you think of it as short for excrement
I’m still sticking with calling it “Y”
“Y” is already taken, by something called an “existential crisis”
Well “existential crisis” does seem to sum it all up pretty nicely!
I’ve been calling it 10

Play it cool. Nobody’s going to know you’re a time traveling Roman

“Hey guys, did you see what’s trending on 10?”

How about just STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.
you don't need to yell
No need to be sour about it.

Just call it X. If nobody understands what you are talking about, consider it a positive.
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 like Xitter. Kinda like shitter if you pretend it’s like a Chinese x sound
brb posting a Xeet real quick.

We have truly come full circle.

Le Twittre - Penny Arcade

Videogaming-related online strip by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. Includes news and commentary.

I just don’t talk about the name change, pretty similar to how I’ve barely given twitter notice for the past decade
How about we ghost it until it becomes irrelevant instead.
I'll just keep referring it to as Twitter if I ever need to talk about it.
Corporations don’t get to have deadnames

If you’re so keen on renaiming twitter then maybe don’t make fun of Elon wanting to do the same.

It’s twitter. Always has been.

Why don’t we just stop talking about it altogether.

I don't know, most people think I'm way more interesting when I tell them I spent all weekend on X.

(I didn't the cool one or the Twitter one)

Call it nothing and let it die
or just not talk about it
Twits for short. Just overall, forever.
It’s Xitter (shitter) and nothing else.
I’ve been calling it ten

…or - hear me out here - we all just stop using that asswipe’s platform?!?

Crazy, I know!

Too lazy to do that.
I mean, I just still call it Twitter. Probably will until the end of it.
Which hopefully comes soon
Same. Out of respect for the original company’s employees, founders, and devs.
how about TWX?.. ( pronounced …twicks)
Or twitter, or short
I think we should call it “Ten”.
How about “The platform formerly known as Twitter” since the name has been changed to a nonsensical symbol instead of a meaningful word?
I prefer “site formerly know as twitter” most
I prefer Xitter, but to make it more apparent what the pronunciation is I spell it out more phonetically as “shitter”.
I call it xruth social

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”.

I’m cool with just never calling it.
Oooor how bout we just fucking stop talking about and using Twitter
[I don’t think about you at all meme]
I mean, it still is Twitter. That’s the URL that people use to access the site. Tbh I have no idea if Musk actually went through the effort of changing the company name in the business licensing or other company paperwork. Just the logo and header seem to say X. But I agree, I’m getting so annoyed with journalists calling it “the site formerly known as Twitter.” so dumb.
