just call it twitter. literally everyone knows what it is, and twitter.com still redirects there so who gives a shit what he’s calling it. don’t show his site the courtesy he doesn’t show to his own daughter.
I’m not a fan of the company, but at least this one has a handful of different platforms underneath it - Oculus, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook. Having Facebook the product and Facebook the overarching company kind of ads a little complication.
I don’t quite feel the same way about Alphabet/Google, but at least that’s more subtle.
I still call it Facebook. Meta is equally stupid as X. Meta as a word already existed in multiple different ways. Now if you say ‘that’s meta’ you have to stop and think, which may be why I’ve seen that phrase really die out.
The meta rebranding is not as evil as the hostile takeover of Twitter. So I am inclined to accept that name change but I do not know really what using meta means.
I don’t use FB, if I did I would still say FB.
I use WhatsApp and I don’t call that meta. I guess the individual products just keep their names here.
you know what I always stan for? “former Twitter”. I just love that shit! I hope it always stays like this to show that the rebranding didn’T work
I’ve been thinking we need to get aspirational and take it to the next level:
Instead of “X (formally know as Twitter)”, the time has come for “Twitter (currently called X)”.
Don’t even acknowledge the current name of the site, just keep calling it Twitter.
“Trending on Occupied Twitter”
It’s just a special capitalist operation!

He literally still called the posts tweets so…
I’m just sad we aren’t at calling it “formerly facebook” instead of meta

X can fuck the duck right off.
Yeah, same as Alphabet. Neither of these renamed their key product either. Just put a new company on top.
Poor duck.

I just don’t call it anything. I avoid anything related to Facebook or Meta.
X is simply too vague.
