“Twitter/X” seems pretty reasonable for now. After all, it’s not like they changed the domain name.

That's wild. Wasn't x.com owned by Elon? Why would he redirect it to nitter?

I still call Meta “Facebook” too.

At least in that case Facebook is still the name of the product, just not the company.

That would require corporations to be people, which, fortunately, they aren't.

How about Twixter, as it seems the owner is a little bit of a twixter himself? :)
