Since nobody likes calling it X, why don't we call the platform "ex-twitter"? That way it's technically true, and everybody knows what you're talking about.

How about just STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.

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

He deadnames his own child, and yet gets butthurt when the internet deadnames his company. I feel like just “Twitter” is the biggest insult we could collectively give to him as a person, in this context.

I mean, I just still call it Twitter. Probably will until the end of it.

Playing into it and calling it X does actually reduce the effectiveness of twitter’s branding. Just call it X, let people be confused, and let that kill the fun so they will just move on already.
