As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch

I like the idea of referring to it only as "The social media site formerly known as Twitter" from here on out.
Also "former bird site" has a nice ring to it
I use the historical name, twitter, because to the extent future historians will have to talk about it, that's the name they'll use. I cannot imagine it will do anything of relevance from this point forwards except as a glaring example of the failures of capitalism.
the name "X" is just a bunch of pollution to other topics that happens to have something of the same name. i hate it.
