Instead of "X", how about we all call it "the website formerly known as Twitter" from now on? (lemmy.world)

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

How about we just stop mentioning it at all?

    This, I'm so sick of "I want to hurt something... so I'm going to continually talk about it".

    It's the worst in games, because all it does is get more people to talk/know/hear about a game. Cyberpunk 2077 was a bad launch, instead of just harping on that, I wish every post was "Instead of Cyberpunk 2077, I'm playing X game and it's amazing" Get people interested in something else... and in general stop talking about this shit.

    I'm still calling it Twitter. Always will.

    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

    Let's just make it a symbol.

    I propose two lines on top of each other on the diagonal.

    I'd really rather forget it forever.
