  Just call it X… without any reference to its former universally known name so that no one knows wtf you are talking about.

    sorry, I X'd out of twitter before X X'd twitter, so I can't actually X about Twitter or X on X,

      Did you try Xcreting on X about X?

      It’s probably the best way to get re Xcreted.

    More often, I’ve seen articles just ignoring the name change and still using the terms “Twitter” and “tweet/tweeted”.

  i’m okay with either of either of these since it reinforces the stupidity and futility:

  • x, formerly twitter
  • the company formerly known as twitter

    I just deadname it and call it twitter. I will continue to do so until it dies just like I do with facebook.

      This is the way. I mean, it still refers to ‘tweets’ as ‘tweets’ in the fucking app. What a fucking joke. Elon Musk is such a fucking piece of shit. I hope Zuckerburg beats the shit out of him.

    I like calling it “x-twitter”, as it is short and makes sense when reading it out.

  Xhitter

  (pronounced as shitter) Example: when musk gets a call from the zuck about the fight, he makes excuses about being on the xhitter. Sorry zuck, my ______ is paining and I’m on the xhitter, can’t fight.
