Pretty much the title. I think you all know what I’m talking about.

    I still call it Twitter, because that’s what it is.

      When he stops deadnaming his daughter, maybe I’ll start to care about his attempted rebrand of Twitter

      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

        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.

      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.

      Ooh. Excellent point. I will be disrespectfully deadnaming Twitter from now on.

        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?

          I understand your point but I’m not carrying blame. I see what people write and I’m so sorry it happens

        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.

      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.

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

    Or you could call it what Linus on Wan show by Linus Tech Tips YT channel made up: ex-Twitter You 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.

        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)

      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 use the old names; Facebook, Twitter
    I don’t care if they change their names. Less brain power used to stick to an old name most (still) know.

      Facebook is still called that. The social media platform, that is; the company that runs it is now called Meta, and it makes sense to distinguish those.
