[flagged]


Umm what ? Are you saying that we need to call Twitter X? And if not, we should get flagged?

If that's the case I'd like to say it will always be Twitter for me.


People should call it by its name. Using an old name that no longer describes it is confusing.


Are you actually saying there are people out there who will be confused what the name "Twitter" refers to, but will know what "X" refers to?

Are you able to keep a straight face when you say that?


There will be people who think that the platform is called Twitter and it's going to cause chronological mistakes where they refer to that term and then people think they're talking about the Twitter that existed before Elon Musk took it over. There will be others who think X and Twitter are different platforms. Using the wrong term is undoubtedly going to cause confusion.
