How about we ghost it until it becomes irrelevant instead.
How about just STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.
you don't need to yell
No need to be sour about it.
no need to make fun of people's names
He deadnames his own child, and yet gets butthurt when the internet deadnames his company. I feel like just “Twitter” is the biggest insult we could collectively give to him as a person, in this context.
Exactly. This. Twitter. That's it. Melon Husk doesn't get a say, he ought to be ignored completely by everyone.
I've been calling it Xitter. The X is pronounced "sh."
I like the sass, but do people know what you’re talking about in spoken conversation?
You think the people posting snarky shit on the internet are engaging in spoken conversation with other humans? I promise we're not.
Call it nothing and let it die
Could just stop talking about it all together.
I like Xitter. Kinda like shitter if you pretend it's like a Chinese x sound
I feel like it'll piss off the shitbag more if no one calls it X, so, that's what I'm going with
Oooor how bout we just fucking stop talking about and using Twitter
[I don't think about you at all meme]
I'll just keep referring it to as Twitter if I ever need to talk about it.
Corporations don’t get to have deadnames
I've been calling it 10
Play it cool. Nobody's going to know you're a time traveling Roman
"Hey guys, did you see what's trending on 10?"
Just call it Twitter since Elon doesn't believe in calling people by their names
It’s twitter and always will be twitter until dick bag fully runs it into the ground.
I prefer Xitter, but to make it more apparent what the pronunciation is I spell it out more phonetically as "shitter".
I just don’t talk about the name change, pretty similar to how I’ve barely given twitter notice for the past decade
The ~~artist formerly known as Prince~~ platform formerly known as Twitter.
I mean, I just still call it Twitter. Probably will until the end of it.
Which hopefully comes soon
Who wouldn't know what you were talking about if you just called it Twitter?
Don't cater to the whims of billionaires. Not even a little.
I'm cool with just never calling it.
Yeah I think twitter is fine. Plus it might drive the rat king out of his marbles.
I mean, it still is Twitter. That's the URL that people use to access the site. Tbh I have no idea if Musk actually went through the effort of changing the company name in the business licensing or other company paperwork. Just the logo and header seem to say X. But I agree, I'm getting so annoyed with journalists calling it "the site formerly known as Twitter." so dumb.
Keep calling it Twitter but add @Deprecated so future users know to avoid it?
I think we should call it "Ten".
Just call it X. If nobody understands what you are talking about, consider it a positive.
𝕏 sounds stupid so I say it, its old brand was something it currently does not deserve
imagine being an 𝕏 user 𝕏ing on their 𝕏 and re𝕏ing other people's 𝕏es
Playing into it and calling it X does actually reduce the effectiveness of twitter's branding. Just call it X, let people be confused, and let that kill the fun so they will just move on already.
Anything is fine as long as we call tweets xcrements
I call it xruth social
I prefer "site formerly know as twitter" most
or just leave that shit hole platform and stop talking about it
$8chan.
I call it: "The thing formerly known as twitter".
It's short and concise, without using the actual stupid name, meaning not advertising "The thing formerly known as twitter".
Or twitter, for short
I’m still sticking with calling it “Y”
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
