15 years as Twitter, followed by a maybe 2 year death spiral named as X. History will call it just Twitter, the thing named X is already almost a different service.
I really like the idea of calling it either Twitter or Ten, because at least it’s a word and it’s certainly not what the chief twat had in mind either way.
I just pronounce the new name as “ks” since that’s the sound which the letter X generally makes and it irritates sycophants. Also, if the site URL still has Twitter as its base then it’s still an acceptable name
“Love” is a strong word but it was incredibly useful for gaming news and is the site all the Tumblr artists flocked to when Yahoo banned female presenting nipples.
when someone changes their name, especially because their old one is a bad time for them. usually because they are transitioning, but maybe because they were a high profile victim, or a relation of someone who was, or they are trying to escape abuse- and you carry on using it to punish them and deliberately hurt their feelings out of spite
The old name of a trans person. Insisting on calling someone by their old name who has transitioned is insulting and disrespectful, and refuses to acknowledge their wishes.
