i get not wanting to call x by its old name (because people who do that sometimes do it to ignore what it has become), but don’t call this “deadnaming” please. it trivializes deadnaming and what it does.
corporations are not people, they don’t get to have deadnames.
Of course I do. Twitter is dead. Calling it Twitter now only enables people to keep imagining continuity when they need to leave if they were fond of what it was. Elon only profits from any cachet that name still has.
Can we stop deadnaming X please. That has gone, move on. You may remember it fondly if you wish.
Edit: I explained my rationale to bytesonbike, maybe I am wrong! I just want everyone to leave that shitty cesspool of a platform

It will always be the Sears tower to me.
You’re not the only one!
It was a reference. I know full well. Sorry though
I’ll stop calling it by its old name when Elon starts calling his daughter by hers
i’m calling it whichever comes to mind first. which is probably twitter as that’s what i’ve been calling it for the past decade.
When elon stops deadnaming his daughter, then his fascism propaganda shithole can stop being deadnamed too.
Until Twitter makes a rule against deadnaming, it’s Twitter.
The main problem with X as a platform name is that it creates a lot of ambiguity that takes multiple reads to figure out. Twitter is unambiguous.
Someone who truly despisesTwitter and Elon Musk wouldn’t say that. 🙄
