But calling them xcretes instead of tweets is super good
Love it! Does that meant tweets are now xcretions?
xcrement
So...treat it like your...ex?
This, I'm so sick of "I want to hurt something... so I'm going to continually talk about it".
It's the worst in games, because all it does is get more people to talk/know/hear about a game. Cyberpunk 2077 was a bad launch, instead of just harping on that, I wish every post was "Instead of Cyberpunk 2077, I'm playing X game and it's amazing" Get people interested in something else... and in general stop talking about this shit.

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.
Saw someone on lemmy calling it 'Ten', thought that was quite funny.
But ten also sounds kind of cool, we should build our own ten, with blackjack
And hookers?
I just call it the "I stopped caring about that site a long time ago" site.
Who fucking cares? How about we just don't mention that piece of garbage.
I prefer "the ex social media platform"
I'm still calling it Twitter. Always will.
Yep. That website is Twitter and that rapper is Kanye West. I refuse to kowtow to the whims of the ultra-wealthy.
Kanye goes by something else? You know what, I still don't care. Nevermind.

I don't call it anything because I don't really talk about it.
Would rather just not talk about it
Prefer to give it 0 energy. Even this comment is pushing it.
I would prefer to just not talk about it.
How about we don't talk about it at all?
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.
Uh I'm gonna keep calling it twitter. I still call Facebook by its real name too.
well, facebook is still called facebook, because zucc isn't dumb enough to give up such a recognizable brand for no reason. he only changed the name of his company to meta, and made facebook a part of it
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?"
Too long. I call it shitter.
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.
I will just keep calling it Twitter just like I still say Hotmail.
I still say hotmail. I still have a hotmail account...
I’ll continue to refer to it the way I do now, which is to not refer to it at all.
I vote for shitter.
The amount of posts about Twitter and Musk are flat out disturbing...
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.
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.

Just refer to it as “My X”
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?
