Worked great when the artist formerly known as Prince changed his name to a symbol.

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

[-] Daisyifyoudo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] lyCosmo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I prefer "the ex social media platform"

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.

[-] Chozo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

On that note, I suggest we rename Reddit to Fuckit

Reddit Was Fun (until spez der hurensohn ruined it).

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

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.

[-] metaStatic@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I prefer to "Toot" on Mastodon or "Ignore all this pointless bullshit" on Kbin

[-] mrbubblesort@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

I'm going with the Cyrillic pronunciation: Zh

[-] Gsus4@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Cyrillic Х is "Kh", Ж is "Zh".

Personally I call it "Gone, but not forgotten"

[-] theherk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What are we talking about?

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Twitter the over-rated bullshit that got bought by Elon Musk who basically took it outback with a rifle and....

Oh wait a second, I see what you're doing.

[-] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz -1 points 1 year ago

I'll keep calling it what it is - Twitter
