      You can’t deadname a company.

      And as long as that dumb fascist does it to his daughter, even more reason to keep doing it.

      I will never let marketing win.

        The stubbornness of calling it Twitter is really silly. Imagine insisting Edge is AcTuAlLy Internet Explorer, same energy.

        It’s called x now, you access it by going to c.com. it’s stupid, but you need to face it and accept that Twitter and what Twitter used to be is gone.

        Stop using the Nazi platform, period. This refusal to let go of Twitter and still giving Elon money and influence by continuing to use his platform while insisting you’re making some sort of statement by making fun of him and calling it Twitter is… Silly. What’s the end game?

        Twitter is dead. Let it go.

          You need a better example. Edge was specifically not Internet Explorer. For quite a while, both existed. They were separate programs. Also going to twitter.com still takes you to where you wanna go lol, it just redirects.

            I guess you will call Nike Blue Ribbon Sports because they still have blueribbonsports.com, and certainly all the cool kids still say WWF because WWE is stupid, and I remember when everyone refused to call ebay anything but AuctionWeb, and don’t forget how everyone refused to accept that Research In Motion became BlackBerry. Almost forgot how nobody called Apple Music anything but Beats Music, and the SyFy channel will always be SciFi, and Paramount+ is universally rejected as a replacement for CBS All Access… It’s not hard to come up with examples, this happens all the time… lol

            It’s a brand, and it changed. It’ll never be Twitter again, it’s the Nazi platform X now, and keeping ownership of the Twitter.com domain name isn’t exactly proof Twitter is still Twitter, so much has been changed about it beyond content moderation and Nazi propaganda distribution, from content access to monetization.

            I personally avoid using the Nazi platform, but feel free to continue supporting it while “making fun” of its name change like that’s consequential at all.

            Don’t engage with the ideas, downvote and run away. Your precious Twitter needs you to “stand up” to Elon by continuing to use his platform.
