I see that many of you still call it twitter. I get if it's a protest, but current X seems very unlike twitter, so I don't understand why it should be called by that name.
Why are you wasting syllables giving it free advertising?
It was a sewage when named twitter, it's a sewage now. At least "twitter" has the benefit of being unambiguous. X is not. X can be literally anything, or specifically X11, XOrg (x.org).
I don't use X. I use Wayland.
So I say twitter for clarity, not protest.
- i ll tell you an even better option, dont! - like honestly, dont. i have realized lately that x is full of ragebaiting and other algorithmic stuff to make you invested into it. - you ll never have even an ounce of mind the moment you open anything on x - good time to make a new year resolution, delete your account on x and say a permanent goodbye. they are trying hard to lure you back in

Why would I call Twitter something else?
This is generally sad. People hate a service, but they depend on it so much they create whole codebases to cope with it. Depending on things we hate is a tragedy. How about just admitting the things you hate? Then you can just drop it and live a happier life. Unless you are of course somehow required/forced to use X, then I'm all for projects like these.
Similarly archive.org maintains copies of the Fox News website in the past. I don't see that as sad. If anything, it's a way to keep these sites accountable because they can't just memory-hole the content they once hosted.

X is just a really weird name. It's not natural to say "someone posted this on X" to me, and we had like a decade of Twitter and talking about it.

In what way? More fascists, bots, and bots posting fascist things? The application itself is 99% identical to Twitter.
