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.

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.
