I only call it Twitter

"You can't just change your URL and frontend and pretend you're X. Even if someone did some editing on your backend, you were born Twitter and you'll die Twitter!"

I have to mention I'm trying to make fun of transphobes, but idk if it's coming through that well so I'm adding this disclaimer letting you know it's an attempt at a joke. It's just ironic because these arguments do work for Twitter (presently trying to be known as "X")

Stop trying to make X happen. It’s not going to happen.
