I will never call it “X” just because it’s too fucking stupid. But your reason is a good one too. Plus it seems to get under Musk’s skin if you call it twitter.
A guy pledged a bunch of money to the creator of Mastodon if he named the posts “toots”. So the name stuck and Mastodon got a bunch of server and development funds.
My only question is do we pronounce the “x” in xitter like “x” would be pronounced in a Chinese word? “Sh-itter”?
I pronounce it Twitter and will continue to dead name the website for as long as Musk dead names his trans child.

That’s my camp as well. But I’m willing to call it shitter when necessary. :D
Yes, it is pronounced Shitter, and Tweets are now Toots.
X-creets
Yea I always used “Xcreations”. Nothing but shit anyways…
Do NOT associate Mastodon stuff with that shit
What term constituted “mastodon stuff” to prompt your comment? Haven’t yet tried mastodon so just curious.
Toots

Tweets are now Sharts!
That’s how I’ve been doing it.
I just pronounce it as ten.
