How about we just stop mentioning it at all?

Nah. Prince changed his name to stick it to the record label that was fucking him over. That was his livelihood at stake.

No one needs Twitter. I don't even have an account.

Saw someone on lemmy calling it 'Ten', thought that was quite funny.

I prefer "the ex social media platform"

I just call it the "I stopped caring about that site a long time ago" site.

I'm still calling it Twitter. Always will.

I don't call it anything because I don't really talk about it.

How about we don't talk about it at all?

Who fucking cares? How about we just don't mention that piece of garbage.

Would rather just not talk about it

10/Ten Elon would hate it.

I’ll continue to refer to it the way I do now, which is to not refer to it at all.

The amount of posts about Twitter and Musk are flat out disturbing...

We got "#Birdsite" on Mastodon for ages, seems fitting to just continue with that to me! ;)

would be funny if everyone just started calling it "ten".

Just call it Twitter. They're going to either go back to the old branding, or they'll be out of business shortly enough that it wouldn't even make sense to bother referring to it as X.

It's Twitter.

I kind of like Xwitter, since the X almost looks like a sideways T, almost like it's gone into disrepair and fallen over, like a billionaire idiot had stopped paying the bills or was sabotaging it with his incompetence.

Alternative suggestion: just let the shot crash and burn and don't spend your time on an alternative platform obsessing about a different platform. Same for reddit.

It really doesn't make this platform better.

just call it "Ten" like roman numerals

Too long. I call it shitter.

I will just keep calling it Twitter just like I still say Hotmail.

I vote for shitter.

I prefer the name Null, just ignore it and move on...

On that note, I suggest we rename Reddit to Fuckit

I would prefer to just not talk about it.

I'll keep calling it what it is - Twitter

I’m fond of “Titanic”.

I call it Larry.

This was the name used for the Twitter bird from 2010 to 2012 before redesigning it into what we had before 𝕏.

I am going to call it twatter just to make people have a moment of "wait did he say what I think he said or did I mishear him?"

The eX-Bird App?

I say just let it continue to lose its brand value by muddying the waters.

No, because that would imply Musk and Twitter is on the same level as TAFKA Prince.

Formerly Known as Twitter is too long .... FKT hit it on a few levels.

So does a "tweet" become a "message/action formerly known as a tweet?" That's gonna get tiresome reeeeeal fast.

I love it.

"I was on the website formerly known as Twitter and I read this really funny message formerly known as a tweet about how Elon Musk is totally botching the website formerly known as Twitter. I totally action formerly known as retweeted it."

How about we keep calling it Twitter, because big shitty companies don't get to have the privilege of rebranding so we forget how shitty they are.

I liked the idea of pronouncing it "10" like the Roman numeral. It's not necessarily incorrect, and it fucks with Elon's ego

xXx^x^

Keep calling it twitter.

In short, ex-twitter?

That is long, lets acronymize it: TWFKAT, pronounced twif-cat.

Twitter's eX

I'm still calling it twitter.

I for one think X is a very cool name. Nice rebranding!

Let's just make it a symbol.

I propose two lines on top of each other on the diagonal.

The eXsocial media company.

I've been having fun writing a dumb userscript to help me cope with this.

Yes, it can put back a bird of your choosing as a logo, but why stop there.

Instead of tweeting on Twitter, I can now spez on Reddit, skeet on Bluesky, or just eXecrate on X, the Elon way.

It's ridiculous and pointless, and I'm not sorry.

Shitter?

Can we get it to wear assless chaps while we're at it?

I prefer twatter

Just refer to it as “My X”

Some publications often do this. At least on Reuteres, as well as other news sites, I've seen that Twitter/X is now referred to as "X, formerly Twitter", probably to avoid confusion.

But "the website formerly known as Twitter" is just too lengthy for everyday conversation. I just call it Twitter, everyone knows what it means

I'm calling it the "X-porn". :^)

Y'know, they changed the name of an avenue nearby my childhood house from a single word name to the name of an obscure politician. This happened 30 years ago. People in the city still refer to it as it's old name so much that they might not even know the current name.

Just because he has money, doesn't mean he gets to tell you what things are called.

They changed the name of the millennium dome in London to "the 02 Arena".

I'm not letting you pay someone else for me to say your (unrelated) brand's name in private conversation.

If Verizon sponsored the Whitehouse and said "it's called the Verizon Democracy Centre" now, what would you call it?

I never stopped calling him Prince 😂

This post isn't even a question

🍗 (the website formerly known as Twitter)

Personally I call it "Gone, but not forgotten"

I'd really rather forget it forever.
