I really don't have a passionate stance about it, I just know I called it Twitter for ages, X is shitty branding and isn't going to work, and I stopped using the platform well before Musk took over, so I'm not doing any sort of mental labor trying to make myself use the crap name he chose.

It's a dead website to me, and it's everyone else's problem that they trapped themselves on Twitter, having no career without it. I'm not doing a single thing on behalf of anybody who is still there, those are ghosts, let them howl in the attic, I don't work here.

It's not a human person. It's a website full of assholes. I would make an effort for a transitioning person, but not for Elon Musk and his ham-fisted stupidity, for the folly of some wealthy prick.

It's Twitter until I forget what it's called.

I am still waiting for a well-known media to call it "the website commonly known as Xitter", instead of "the website formerly known as Twitter".

I call it X(уйня)

Shitter, clearly the only acceptable name.

Won't even use it for porn now.

The convention for websites is generally "name" dot com or "name" dot org. If you want to change the name, change the website name.

Until we start going to x.com instead, I'm going to talk about twitter(.com)

X is too short and generic. It is literally just a letter.

“Xwitter”

The X is like a fallen over t. Like twitter, falling apart.

I still call it Twatter

The owner wants it to be called "X", it is disrespectful to call it anything else. It is a happy coincidence that all name recognition is gone.

Edit: What is so hard to understand.

1. Calling it X reduces the value of Twitter. Calling it "X, formerly Twitter" tires the two together. I want people to pass on joining X.

2. You live your values. You should skip your values because someone else is a shit.

As long as Elon dead names his child (and supports dead naming), I'm dead naming that dumpster fire Twitter.

Shouldn't renaming a social media really be up to the users? Shouldn't twitter users vote on that?

We just conceded that social media are owned by some corporate entity but the only values is in the users themselves. They build it. They should "own" and control the social media democratically, it should be accountable to them. It seems much more obvious than with traditional media that these should be democratic institutions.

Elon Musk behaving so blatantly stupid is unusual but the problem is really much larger.

In professional settings, I still call it Twitter because my customers doesnt know or understand the name change
