I've been thinking about this while on the toilet. Why there? Because that's about the only time I waste time thinking about Twitter.
Call it X. Call it muskX. Call it whatever
But don't call it Twitter
See, twitter is dead. X is trying to capitalize on the corpse.
Continuing to call it Twitter just gives validity and credibility to X by pretending that it's the same thing under a different name.
Call it Shitter, call it anything but what gives musk any validation at all
Interesting reasoning, but I prefer mine. I will keep calling it Twitter if only because its CEO fumes when it's being called Twitter. And I'm okay with that.
It is usually spelt "xitter"
I'm partial to Twixxer myself.
Twatter
I prefer Ex-twitter
The platform formerly known as Twitter.
Call it twitter, but just make it a mastodon instance. Toots not tweets.
I just... don't talk about it at all... Nothing of value is lost.
