Nope. It’s Twitter. It will continue to be Twitter. I will not cater to the whims of billionaires.
The website is Twitter.
The company is Facebook.
The rapper is Kanye West.
The new name of twitter is „X, former known as ‚twitter‘“

Wait, is Kanye going by something else now?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes, he wants to be called Ye. Fuck him.

This isn’t how I have imagined the internet aging gracefully.

Such a fail that the website is still literally Twitter.com.
Redb34rd@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean it was the same with Meta and we still call it Facebook to this day. Renaming a brand just doesn’t work, when it’s already established…
Weslee@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Facebook the service is still Facebook, the company that runs it is called meta

Yet Lizard Man is still called Lizard Man, go figure…

Xfinity will always be Comcast to me. Not sure why they tried to rebrand.
ericisshort@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They tried to rebrand because they had incredibly low customer satisfaction rating associated with Comcast (I wonder why?). I worked for that horrible company during the rebrand and they told us as much. It actually did affect consumer perspective positively (because people are morons), so much so that Time Warner Cable and Cablevision followed suit a few years later rebranding their services respectively to Spectrum and Optimum.

In a weird way, some Zuckerberg haters love calling it Meta because that more closely evokes the enbarassing metaverse / VR crap they’ve been so into. Facebook was an incredibly successful website but Meta is a joke.

I’ve been going with “The Social Media Platform Formerly Known as Twitter”.

The new name of Twitter is X, just like Elon calls all the women in his life
Deestan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s funny, our news outlet calls it exactly that. They used to say “according to police on Twitter” but now they write “according to police on X, formerly known as Twitter”.

The new name of Twitter is irrelevant

And don’t forget the full name would be “X, formerly known as Twitter, formerly known as twttr” logos-world.net/…/Twitter-Logo-History.jpg

I prefer “worse mastodon”
Rockyrikoko@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m partial to calling it Xitter, pronounced shitter
over_clox@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And Tweets are now called Xits. 👍

Mastodon was way ahead of the trend when they decided to call the messages toots.
