Some publications often do this. At least on Reuteres, as well as other news sites, I’ve seen that Twitter/X is now referred to as “X, formerly Twitter”, probably to avoid confusion.
But “the website formerly known as Twitter” is just too lengthy for everyday conversation. I just call it Twitter, everyone knows what it means
Y’know, they changed the name of an avenue nearby my childhood house from a single word name to the name of an obscure politician. This happened 30 years ago. People in the city still refer to it as it’s old name so much that they might not even know the current name.
well, facebook is still called facebook, because zucc isn’t dumb enough to give up such a recognizable brand for no reason. he only changed the name of his company to meta, and made facebook a part of it
I kind of like Xwitter, since the X almost looks like a sideways T, almost like it’s gone into disrepair and fallen over, like a billionaire idiot had stopped paying the bills or was sabotaging it with his incompetence.
