    He really shouldn’t get to rename it to X for two reasons:

    First it shouldn’t be up to the whims of one idiot, millions of people use that and it’s just annoying for no good reason. Social media needs more democratic governance from the users. They shouldn’t be the product, they should be shareholders.

    Second it’s a name that “harms” language because X is used for many other things so it increases confusion and block out other meaning. It’s just a shit name that now we’re forced to use because of some plutocrat.

    So yeah I think people should absolutely keep using twitter no matter what. As an act of disobedience against the rule of plutocrats. Or of course, just always crosspost and refer to mastadon instead.
