I’m partial to calling it Xitter, pronounced shitter
And Tweets are now called Xits. 👍
Xcretes
Mastodon was way ahead of the trend when they decided to call the messages toots.
Nope. It’s Twitter. It will continue to be Twitter. I will not cater to the whims of billionaires.
The website is Twitter.
The company is Facebook.
The rapper is Kanye West.
Wait, is Kanye going by something else now?
Yes, he wants to be called Ye. Fuck him.
Well that’s…something…
The more fitting name I’ve seen him called is Yittler
The internet service provider is Cingular.
More bars in more places
Make them chocolate bars
This isn’t how I have imagined the internet aging gracefully.
Such a fail that the website is still literally Twitter.com.
I mean it was the same with Meta and we still call it Facebook to this day. Renaming a brand just doesn’t work, when it’s already established…
Facebook the service is still Facebook, the company that runs it is called meta
Yes, I feel like all these Big Tech companies changed the parent company name (Facebook -> Meta, Google -> Alphabet) to confuse end users when they read news about how they harvest our data don’t respect our privacy: the news talk about a big company spying on users, users know a few app names and most don’t link both together
its also about shuffling financial liabilities around, ya know, so businesses can avoid paying for stuff. corporate welfare
Bingo
Yet Lizard Man is still called Lizard Man, go figure…
Xfinity will always be Comcast to me. Not sure why they tried to rebrand.
They tried to rebrand because they had an incredibly low customer satisfaction rating associated with Comcast (I wonder why?). I worked for that horrible company during the rebrand and they told us as much. It actually did end up positively affecting consumer opinion (because people are morons), so much so that Time Warner Cable and Cablevision followed suit a few years later rebranding their services respectively to Spectrum and Optimum.
In a weird way, some Zuckerberg haters love calling it Meta because that more closely evokes the enbarassing metaverse / VR crap they’ve been so into. Facebook was an incredibly successful website but Meta is a joke.
I’ve been going with “The Social Media Platform Formerly Known as Twitter”.
So TSMPFKaT? That’s catchy!
TSMPFKaT could be the new WUPHF
The new name of Twitter is X, just like Elon calls all the women in his life
The new name of Twitter is irrelevant
And don’t forget the full name would be “X, formerly known as Twitter, formerly known as twttr” https://lemmy.kya.moe/imgproxy?src=logos-world.net%2fwp-content/uploads/2020/06/Twitter-Logo-History.jpg
It’s funny, our news outlet calls it exactly that. They used to say “according to police on Twitter” but now they write “according to police on X, formerly known as Twitter”.
“The artist formerly known as Prince”
I always say “The social media formerly known as Twitter”
*formally
Mf space Karen thinks he can prince his way out of this mess…
I prefer “worse mastodon”
