@arstechnica It will always be called Twitter. And everything associated with Musk and his attempt to rebrand will always be failure, bigotry and ego run amok.

@arstechnica I went there today and it didn’t redirect away from Twitter.com.

@arstechnica Twitter was such a fantastic brand. One of the few good things about that site.

@arstechnica what's the difference in how the dead thing is called? It's just dead.

@arstechnica :birdsite: 👉 🚽, so twits still tweeting are 💩s.

Does this apply to YOU? 🤔 I hope not!

@arstechnica I’m still calling it Twitter. Musk doesn’t deserve the respect, as that implies that his rule of the site is successful

@arstechnica and x blocks access from a Firefox browser with strict tracking protection

@arstechnica I'm still going to call it Twitter. Either that or "shit show". Maybe "dumpster fire" or "hellscape". Never "X" though. Screw that.

@arstechnica Let us all redirect to the Fediverse instead, that would solve a lot of problems.

@arstechnica Twitter name change took place in July 2023, so "under a year" would be accurate
