I think it's appropriate to call it "X" or "Xitter". Twitter is dead, and Elon Musk killed it. There's no point in calling it something that it simply isn't, unless one wants people to plug their ears and ignore their beloved hellsite's butchering at the hands of an incompetent rich kid.

i think i'd prefer "the zombie platform formerly known as 'twitter'"

besides, this is all just for publicity (i am 99% sure that's why he killed the damn site and rebranded it) and to look cool. well... to the standards of what a 12-year-old who writes the cool 's' on a bathroom stall thinks is cool.

besides, fundamentally it's still the same shitshow with a new coat of paint. if this were a complete overhaul, yeah i'd name it something else but this is just something done for the sake of attention and stonks that unsurprisingly for an incompetent boob like him backfired and now twitter stonks are more worthless than ever. and elon privatized it so they were already worthless and void to begin with, so that's a new low.

and the only reason i'm considering a limited return is because nobody has actually found a set destination for a mass twexodus of twitter artists to greener pastures. i made a bluesky, but ofc it's barely chugging along. i hope if it and FA take off for me more then i'll be able to like... idk... actually lay my twitter accounts to rest and only keep them as art galleries.
