How about we just stop mentioning it at all?
But calling them xcretes instead of tweets is super good

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.
And Prince was so good we would listen to his new stuff no matter what he called himself.
The eX-Bird App?
xXx^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?"
I’ll continue to refer to it the way I do now, which is to not refer to it at all.
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 don't call it anything because I don't really talk about it.
Who fucking cares? How about we just don't mention that piece of garbage.
I just call it the "I stopped caring about that site a long time ago" site.
Keep calling it twitter.
just call it "Ten" like roman numerals
Let's just make it a symbol.
I propose two lines on top of each other on the diagonal.
Elon finds your idea intriguing, but, hear him out- what if we made those lines perpendicular, and then added another line at each end at a 90-degree angle?
Nah, it needs to be 7 red lines. All of them strictly perpendicular; some with green ink and some with transparent. Can you do that?
I prefer "the ex social media platform"
I like calling it "ten". I don't think Musk would like it, so that is what I will call it.
would be funny if everyone just started calling it "ten".
I don't get it?
X is the Roman numeral for 10
Formerly Known as Twitter is too long .... FKT hit it on a few levels.
FKT reads like “fuck it” to me, which I completely resonate with
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.
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.
The amount of posts about Twitter and Musk are flat out disturbing...
Shitter?
Too long. I call it shitter.
I will just keep calling it Twitter just like I still say Hotmail.
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.
