I prefer "site formerly know as twitter" most

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Just call it X. If nobody understands what you are talking about, consider it a positive.

I call it: "The thing formerly known as twitter".

It's short and concise, without using the actual stupid name, meaning not advertising "The thing formerly known as twitter".

Techdirt agrees with you

[-] Thetomman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think x works if you think of it as short for excrement

[-] medusa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Twits for short. Just overall, forever.

Or just keep it more compact: Xitter.

Pronounced with sh.

Lil nas X should rename himself to Lil Nas Twitter

[-] Mcballs1234@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Personally I think X premium is a better name

[-] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

how about TWX?... ( pronounced ..twicks)

How about "The platform formerly known as Twitter" since the name has been changed to a nonsensical symbol instead of a meaningful word?

[-] thecam@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I will still call it twitter. I hope twitter either dies or becomes a giant nostr relay.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
