xTwitter

Previously, it was a shithole.
Now, it's a Nazi shithole.

Don't call it anything. Ignore it and maybe it will go away.

I mean, it’s not like twitter was ever a beacon of glory, pre-Elon twitter was still twitter

Hey, don't rewrite history - twitter was always notoriously bad, under Elon it surely got even worse though.

Sorry twitter was always trash

There is simple solution: just ignore it. Don't refer to it in any way.

I present: Xitter

Twitter is no worse today than five years ago. But it’s certainly also no better. The discussion about which billionaires we want manipulating public discourse is outright insanity

Xitter (pronounced shitter)

I don't want to call it X because it's a shit shit shit name

I hadn't been there in a long while, but a friend sent a link to what he said was a funny tweet. It was, but the responses were just awful, and they all had blue checkmarks.

Every single inserted ad was for right-wing grifts (crypto, t-shirts, gold coins, etc) or awful right-wing politicians looking angry or posing with guns.

Noped right out.

I pointed it out to my wife, but she says the journalists she follows are still all there. 🤷🏻‍♂️

For me, it’s simpler than that: I’m gonna deadname his company as long as he keeps deadnaming his daughter

They have $44 billion dollar bills to wipe away the tears.

It's not like it was a hostile take over. They played their part when Musk talked shit and they sued him to follow through with the purchase. They could have easily kept it, but they wanted the money instead.

People now have fond memories of twitter? Insane.

I don't understand why anyone would care this much about a social media website

Twitter was always bad. It is of course way worse now, but it is silly to have any nostalgic and reverential feelings for it.

But Twitter has always been shit.

Those people sold it to musk. They were tech bros whose goal from the start was to get a massive buyout and bail. They don't deserve your respect anymore than musk does.

I mean lets not overdo it the algorithms were becoming very trash before it was bought up but it was usable. Peak twitter was like 2017

The way I look at it, if Elon Musk is gonna deadname his own child, I'm sure as shit gonna deadname the corporation he tanked

I mean, what you personally call it isn't really going to make any difference, so if we're trying to optimize your mental health, just reframe the naritive in your head. You're still calling it Twitter to honor what it used to be, back when you respected it. You are refusing to acknowledge the nazi dumpster fire it has become, even if you still need to talk about it.

I personally basically never have a reason to mention the site when taking to another person, but if/when I do, I'll call it Twitter just because I think it would annoy Elon, if he somehow knew.

We should call it "X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter." Every time. Yes it sounds ridiculous, because it is.

This isn't a shower thought

Calling twix, or xitter! You can also call it Elon's X (he has many exes, so this one fits in)
