But calling them xcretes instead of tweets is super good
Love it! Does that meant tweets are now xcretions?
xcrement
So...treat it like your...ex?
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.

Nah. Prince changed his name to stick it to the record label that was fucking him over. That was his livelihood at stake.
No one needs Twitter. I don't even have an account.
And Prince was so good we would listen to his new stuff no matter what he called himself.
Saw someone on lemmy calling it 'Ten', thought that was quite funny.
But ten also sounds kind of cool, we should build our own ten, with blackjack

I don't call it anything because I don't really talk about it.
I just call it the "I stopped caring about that site a long time ago" site.
Would rather just not talk about it
Who fucking cares? How about we just don't mention that piece of garbage.
How about we don't talk about it at all?
We got "#Birdsite" on Mastodon for ages, seems fitting to just continue with that to me! ;)
The amount of posts about Twitter and Musk are flat out disturbing...
I prefer the name Null, just ignore it and move on...
I’ll continue to refer to it the way I do now, which is to not refer to it at all.
I will just keep calling it Twitter just like I still say Hotmail.
I still say hotmail. I still have a hotmail account...
Just call it Twitter. They're going to either go back to the old branding, or they'll be out of business shortly enough that it wouldn't even make sense to bother referring to it as X.
It's Twitter.
I would prefer to just not talk about it.
I kind of like Xwitter, since the X almost looks like a sideways T, almost like it's gone into disrepair and fallen over, like a billionaire idiot had stopped paying the bills or was sabotaging it with his incompetence.
Too long. I call it shitter.
Alternative suggestion: just let the shot crash and burn and don't spend your time on an alternative platform obsessing about a different platform. Same for reddit.
It really doesn't make this platform better.
just call it "Ten" like roman numerals
No, because that would imply Musk and Twitter is on the same level as TAFKA Prince.

In short, ex-twitter?
So does a "tweet" become a "message/action formerly known as a tweet?" That's gonna get tiresome reeeeeal fast.
I love it.
"I was on the website formerly known as Twitter and I read this really funny message formerly known as a tweet about how Elon Musk is totally botching the website formerly known as Twitter. I totally action formerly known as retweeted it."
Tweets are now called "X-crement"
How about we keep calling it Twitter, because big shitty companies don't get to have the privilege of rebranding so we forget how shitty they are.
