Too long. I call it shitter.
That is long, lets acronymize it: TWFKAT, pronounced twif-cat.
Would be nice if we could call them TWATS

Keep calling it twitter.
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
just call it "Ten" like roman numerals
I've been having fun writing a dumb userscript to help me cope with this.
Yes, it can put back a bird of your choosing as a logo, but why stop there.
Instead of tweeting on Twitter, I can now spez on Reddit, skeet on Bluesky, or just eXecrate on X, the Elon way.
It's ridiculous and pointless, and I'm not sorry.

The eXsocial media company.
Shitter?
Can we get it to wear assless chaps while we're at it?
I for one think X is a very cool name. Nice rebranding!
I prefer twatter
Platform: Twatter Users: Twitterati
I have been using this for years
Alternative suggestion: just let the shot crash and burn and don't spend your time on an alternative platform obsessing about a different platform. Same for reddit.
It really doesn't make this platform better.
Let's just make it a symbol.
I propose two lines on top of each other on the diagonal.

Formerly Known as Twitter is too long .... FKT hit it on a few levels.
FKT reads like “fuck it” to me, which I completely resonate with
No, because that would imply Musk and Twitter is on the same level as TAFKA Prince.
This post isn't even a question
Just refer to it as “My X”
I'm calling it the "X-porn". :^)
I never stopped calling him Prince 😂
