So...treat it like your...ex?
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.

Nah. Prince changed his name to stick it to the record label that was fucking him over. That was his livelihood at stake.
No one needs Twitter. I don't even have an account.
And Prince was so good we would listen to his new stuff no matter what he called himself.
Saw someone on lemmy calling it 'Ten', thought that was quite funny.
But ten also sounds kind of cool, we should build our own ten, with blackjack

I just call it the "I stopped caring about that site a long time ago" site.
I don't call it anything because I don't really talk about it.
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.
How about we don't talk about it at all?
Who fucking cares? How about we just don't mention that piece of garbage.
Would rather just not talk about it
I’ll continue to refer to it the way I do now, which is to not refer to it at all.
The amount of posts about Twitter and Musk are flat out disturbing...
We got "#Birdsite" on Mastodon for ages, seems fitting to just continue with that to me! ;)
Too long. I call it shitter.
Just call it Twitter. They're going to either go back to the old branding, or they'll be out of business shortly enough that it wouldn't even make sense to bother referring to it as X.
It's Twitter.
Alternative suggestion: just let the shot crash and burn and don't spend your time on an alternative platform obsessing about a different platform. Same for reddit.
It really doesn't make this platform better.
just call it "Ten" like roman numerals
I will just keep calling it Twitter just like I still say Hotmail.
I still say hotmail. I still have a hotmail account...
I kind of like Xwitter, since the X almost looks like a sideways T, almost like it's gone into disrepair and fallen over, like a billionaire idiot had stopped paying the bills or was sabotaging it with his incompetence.
I prefer the name Null, just ignore it and move on...
I would prefer to just not talk about it.
I call it Larry.
This was the name used for the Twitter bird from 2010 to 2012 before redesigning it into what we had before 𝕏.
No, because that would imply Musk and Twitter is on the same level as TAFKA Prince.

I say just let it continue to lose its brand value by muddying the waters.
How about we keep calling it Twitter, because big shitty companies don't get to have the privilege of rebranding so we forget how shitty they are.
