How about we just stop mentioning it at all?
But calling them xcretes instead of tweets is super good
Love it! Does that meant tweets are now xcretions?
I don't call it anything because I don't really talk about it.
How about we don't talk about 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.
And Prince was so good we would listen to his new stuff no matter what he called himself.
I’ll continue to refer to it the way I do now, which is to not refer to it at all.
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.
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.
Hahah yeah Kanye West wants us to call him "Ye".
Is that pronounced "yay" or "yee"?
Yes
Pretty sure it is "yee"
Did he change his last name, too? To "haw" perhaps?
10/Ten Elon would hate it.
He is loving everyone getting baited and gaining tons of atraction
I'm still here...
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.
The eX-Bird App?
Too long. I call it shitter.
I’m fond of “Titanic”.
xXx^x^
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
I say just let it continue to lose its brand value by muddying the waters.
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?"
Twitter's eX
just call it "Ten" like roman numerals
Keep calling it twitter.
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
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 refer to it as “My X”
I'm still calling it twitter.
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?
