> we call(ed) Twitter posts 'tweets'

Following the rename we can now call them Xits, the x being pronounced as in Chinese ('sh').

There’s a lot of xit-posting on X, after all.

I pronounced it with a "z" sound like xylophone and got "zits" :D

Yes, and we can call the whole platform "Xitter".

Please, show some respect and call it by its full name, "X, the everything app".

Elon is fine with deadnaming so it's fair game to ignore his website's preferred name

I call them Xcretions or Xcrement

I call them just posts now. Easier to pronounce.

I don't call them anything.

Haven't logged in directly for years, or checked anonymously for more than a year now.

Come on in, the water's lovely.

I miss twitter and tweets. So, thank you, Mr Hockenberry for being one of the team to bring us that. Wishing you well.
