Or all the people who still call it Twitter as an ineffectual act of protest.

  I hope people aren't reading it as silly protesting when I say "Twitter" or "tweet," I just think it sounds way better.

  I hope people aren't reading it as silly protesting just because I'm getting old (37) and have 15+ years of neural pathways of daily use of the site to nuke. "tweeted" -> "posted on X.com" is really hard.
  • wormius 11mo ago
    I think it's: "tweeted" -> "xited" pronounced "shitted"

  Not a trademark lawyer, but I wonder if that can actually result in implications of genericization.

    It's not genericization in this case, people only call X "Twitter," not all text-based short form social media.

      I hear people on Mastodon, who undoubtedly came from X, talk about 'tweeting a Mastodon post' instead of posting or 'tooting'.
