MODERATORS
When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.
EX-twitter.
I still prefer 'Xitter'
I liked Roman Numeral Ten.
No we’re past that point. I’d much rather call it X and have the people left on that awful network swallow the jagged X pill instead of kidding themselves into thinking they are still on Twitter.
They are Xers now.
I try to refer to it as Xitter. Posts are xeets.
I call them xcrements
It's better to call it X and not continue to soil the Twitter name.
Twitter was always shit.
Like all social media.
Yes, but at least it wasn't X.
How long do you do that for? He changed it to X who cares how dumb it is that is now the name.
Forever to make him mad
Never do what a billionaire wants just because they want that. Always make it upsetting for them
I still get emails from my dormant account, and according to my Gmail, the sender is, "X (formerly Twitter)," so I don't think we're done with that yet.
When the domain name changed
Strange, it still refers to itself as formally Twitter.
It's still twitter, the place for twits, like Elon.
