I still call Meta “Facebook” too.

At least in that case Facebook is still the name of the product, just not the company.

I still conflate them too tbh.

“Twitter/X” seems pretty reasonable for now. After all, it’s not like they changed the domain name.

It has been taken by or at least redirects to nitter.

That's wild. Wasn't x.com owned by Elon? Why would he redirect it to nitter?

That's a typo/autocorrect, it redirects to twitter

Compromise: xitter

It's perfect as long as we agree to use Chinese pronunciation for the first letter.

South Park did it

How about Twixter, as it seems the owner is a little bit of a twixter himself? :)

"The website formerly known as Twitter" has precedent.

That would be deadnaming it.

That would require corporations to be people, which, fortunately, they aren't.

Citizens United would like a word though.
