As a trans person, I like to remind everyone you are not just allowed but encouraged to deadname Twitter
Calling it deadnaming implies Twitter chose the name X. Twitter did not make that decision, thus calling Twitter Twitter is in no danger of offending Twitter.
Going to deadname Twitter as long as musk is deadnaming his daughter
...what the heck is "deadnaming"?
Using a trans persons's birth name rather than their preferred name. If done purposefully, it's extremely insulting.
Ooh. Excellent point. I will be disrespectfully deadnaming Twitter from now on.
I still call it Twitter.
And Meta will always be Facebook
Just do what The Register does
Twitter, the social media service now calling itself X,
Xitter. Pronounced shitter.
Does that make tweets xeets, pronounced shits?
Yes, yes it does. You xit xeets on the xitter.
It's much easier to simply keep calling it Twitter. Further syllables add nothing.
Or we can call it by the past tense "Twat".
Just call it Shitter, because that's what it is.
Or you could call it what Linus on Wan show by Linus Tech Tips YT channel made up: ex-Twitter You essentially say both of the names and the fact that Twitter is the "old name". But as a F-u to Musk, we should just call it Twitter.
I prefer xitter
Is my brain meant to pronounce this as Shitter?
X-twitter is my personal favorite. Ex-twitter works too.
I still use the old names; Facebook, Twitter
I don't care if they change their names. Less brain power used to stick to an old name most (still) know.
Its literally twitter.com and I despise musk so its called twitter for all of time.
I say we just ignore it, everytime someone mentions it one red blood cell enters the Muskian dick
I ignore it whenever possible but if I do say anything, it's called Twitter
Whenever it occurs in spoken conversation, I call it X to highlight the absurdity of the rebranding. The other person either needs an explanation or a few seconds to figure out what I mean.
eXitter seems to be the correct name at the moment.
