Worked great when the artist formerly known as Prince changed his name to a symbol.
How about we just stop mentioning it at all?
Lemmy users trying to not talk about Twatter or Reddit
But calling them xcretes instead of tweets is super good
Love it! Does that meant tweets are now xcretions?
xcrement
This, I’m so sick of “I want to hurt something… so I’m going to continually talk about it”.
It’s the worst in games, because all it does is get more people to talk/know/hear about a game. Cyberpunk 2077 was a bad launch, instead of just harping on that, I wish every post was “Instead of Cyberpunk 2077, I’m playing X game and it’s amazing” Get people interested in something else… and in general stop talking about this shit.
Yep, this is exactly the kind of worthless post that started making reddit unbearable years ago.
Can we please not immediately ruin this new platform with this shit so soon?
Well, you can block me if you are so upset by the quality of my statements…
Why bring up R?
Why are so many posts here bitching/commenting about other sites?
So many posts here sound like someone after a breakup trying to prove to the word just how over their ex they are…but refuse to talk about anything else.
I was talking about OP.
In particular, it’s low effort, attempting to be funny/snarky about about a pop culture or political news item, usually stolen from somewhere else and posted to the wrong community (why is this on asklemmy?), but it gets attention because it panders to the majority of the user base.
Keep calling it twitter.
Some publications often do this. At least on Reuteres, as well as other news sites, I’ve seen that Twitter/X is now referred to as “X, formerly Twitter”, probably to avoid confusion.
But “the website formerly known as Twitter” is just too lengthy for everyday conversation. I just call it Twitter, everyone knows what it means
The eX-Bird App?
Twitter’s eX
I’m still calling it Twitter. Always will.
Yep. That website is Twitter and that rapper is Kanye West. I refuse to kowtow to the whims of the ultra-wealthy.
Kanye goes by something else? You know what, I still don’t care. Nevermind.
Hahah yeah Kanye West wants us to call him “Ye”.
Is that pronounced “yay” or “yee”?
Yes
Pretty sure it is “yee”
Did he change his last name, too? To “haw” perhaps?
Y’know, they changed the name of an avenue nearby my childhood house from a single word name to the name of an obscure politician. This happened 30 years ago. People in the city still refer to it as it’s old name so much that they might not even know the current name.
I will just keep calling it Twitter just like I still say Hotmail.
Who fucking cares? How about we just don’t mention that piece of garbage.
would be funny if everyone just started calling it “ten”.
I don’t get it?
X is the Roman numeral for 10
I’m fond of “Titanic”.

I am going to call it twatter just to make people have a moment of “wait did he say what I think he said or did I mishear him?”
I’ll continue to refer to it the way I do now, which is to not refer to it at all.
Too long. I call it shitter.
Formerly Known as Twitter is too long … FKT hit it on a few levels.
FKT reads like “fuck it” to me, which I completely resonate with
