For the same reason I still called Alphabet - Google, and Meta - Facebook. I refuse to let large corporations just try and shake off their shitty past with a name change.

That site is as dead as Reddit to me now. I don't care whatever it's called

I'm just sick of every article in existence calling it "X formally known as Twitter" like what's the point, just either say X or say twitter it's filler bullshit to extend the article.

Calling it "X" is anything but professional.

"Xitter". It pronounces almost like "Shitter".

I'm always shocked to see Tumblr talking about current events because I forget there's people still there

I started typing xxx and found new sites I enjoy more.

The name is "X, formerly known as twitter"

Thats it. Thats the whole name.

Missing an option - "I'm combining the two names into a weird abomination that no one likes but that's what that platform deserves nowadays"

I'm partial to Xitter

How about "I just change the subject whenever that irrelevant we site is brought up"

Oh no. Imagine having to talk about twitter in a professional setting. Those poor bastards.

"Other/Results".

Possible candidates:

1. The digital dumpster fire
2. The scream hole
3. Rag you can doom scroll
4. "You know, I don't want to say it aloud"
5. The slightly moderated version of Parlour
6. Not-Reddit
7. The tower of babel

and, lastly

8. The town square of mental disease

"Don't @ me bro"

My Aussie friend calls it 'a platform from a cunt for a bunch of cunts'. I think I'll go with that.

It is always correct to Dead Name corporations.

It's also correct to Deadname Super Villains who think "Eggman" is somehow more intimidating than "Robotnik"

The fifth option, allowed for only very small part of the population, should be "I'm Elon Musk and I call it twitter, and have to be constantly reminded to not do so by assistants, executives, shareholders, janitors, strangers."

I wonder if they’ll roll back the name change at some point, seems almost inevitable if Elon ever sells it.

Personally I don’t think I’ll ever call it X, not even out of dislike for Elon, just because it will always be stuck in my head as Twitter.

I try not to refer to it at all, but when I have to refer to it at work I call it "uuggh, that xitter site".

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.
