Can we please rebrand 'X' as 'The website formerly known as twitter'?

Also, best post here in a while

Also, don't get my hopes up -.-

edit: so no prince fans here then ^^"

keep deadnaming it until he stops deadnaming his kid

[-] atx_aquarian@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

But is it a dead name? Last I looked, the URL was still "twitter.com".

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, until the domain is available it’s fair to call it that

[-] tja@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

The domain is available, x.com just redirects to Twitter.com

[-] _g_be@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

If musk won't recognize his child's new chosen name, I won't recognize twitter's new branding

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

No, just keep calling it twitter. Thats what it is. thats what it'll always be.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago

xitter, shitter because that's what it feels like walking under

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 0 points 2 months ago

The best part is it still works if you pronounce it as "Zitter."

[-] DeltaWingDragon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

X pronounced the way it is in Chinese.

[-] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

"X" is such terrible branding that every news article always has to do what you suggest, otherwise people don't know what the hell is being discussed.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 months ago

The dumbass bought a thing that the strongest and most valuable thing it had to offer was brand recognition and immediately eliminated the branding.

[-] tigerjerusalem@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I like Xitter more, as in "shitter".

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I prefer "Twitter, temporarily rebranded as X..."

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

We could skip and just jump to using a symbol.

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 0 points 2 months ago

Nice. This thought was going through my mind as well
