It’s actually at a point where I think it’s better not to call it twitter because continuing to do so continues to give it credit for what it used to be when it absolutely is not twitter anymore. It is X, Musk’s fascist shithole. I sincerely think it’s more beneficial to just call it that and allow the fascist associations to be appropriately placed. The Twitter brand continues to hold associations people previously believed about it.
Yeah I get that. I just think the twitter brand continues to be viewed by people with some element of positivity and as a “friendly” brand. Refusal to move on from it continues to keep those emotional influences. If we move on, we can make X recognised as the fascist hellhole it is. Twitter is dead, fascism killed it and animated its corpse as X.
I actively avoided making the switch for a long time because it felt like giving Musk what he wanted. But the Twitter brand is more popular, friendlier and better than the fascist space it has become.
the guy who runs twitter literally believes in great replacement of whites by the jews and throws sieg heils. Not sure why this would surprise anybody.

Holy fuck Twitter is basically 4chan now

Interesting point. I kind of like still calling it Twitter, though, to highlight that it wasn’t always full of overt fascism.

Good points. I honestly just hadn’t made the switch in my head because I never really used Twitter or X
I like to call it “X the everything app” because it swings into absurd
Adding this to my lexicon of increasingly terminally absurdist language. I love that!

That’s a really great way of framing it.
