I love how Bluesky actually pushes muted replies down to the bottom of a post instead of having them scattered throughout like X. I also realize I’ve started calling Twitter, X. It’s not the Twitter I loved when I joined. It doesn’t deserve the name anymore. - ThreadSky

Ive been calling Twitter/X Shitex for a couple of years now.

phodvt.bsky.social•187 days ago

Yep, So far I personally have no complaints with Bluesky. Also, at soon as I migrated out of it, I stopped referring to it as Twitter as well.

utzebutz.bsky.social•187 days ago

I call it Twitler.

thefoggybayva.bsky.social•187 days ago

REAL!! I loved X when I first joined but then everything felt really bland and hollow, but now I get to meet tons of people who love voice acting as much as me, I wouldn't change this for the world 💖

simons-mith.bsky.social•187 days ago

Your second sentence is a dang good point - and a useful distinction. People joined Twitter, people /left/ X. Referring to it as 'Twitter' for the good stuff and 'X' for the it became is immensely fitting.

rainzacket.bsky.social•187 days ago

“X” is a husk of what is left of Twitter. BlueSky has proven to have one of the better block features I have seen in a long time.

kodifoxw.bsky.social•187 days ago

I actually started calling it X as well now for the same reason. That place sucks, may as well properly identify why.

dannio24.bsky.social•187 days ago

Love that too! Make the replies look a lot cleaner.

Our literal Ex we've dumped for bsky

toothy.dev•186 days ago

I will never, ever call it X. Yes, it's a dead, empty shell of what Twitter was in its prime, but bending over for Elon is the last thing I want. Twitter dies as Twitter.

jrhanlon.bsky.social•187 days ago

Xitter. Or, alternatively, the app that shall not be named.

multievolution.bsky.social•187 days ago

The only thing I’m missing from the old place is a few of the people I followed, and sadly I fear some will be over social media for one reason or another, otherwise it’s so much nicer here

kirvyx.bsky.social•187 days ago

That makes sense

kylephillipsfun.com•187 days ago

I go back and forth with the name. I agree with your sentiment, but I also don’t want to give Elon the satisfaction of calling it X.

dawnmbennett.com•187 days ago

That’s totally fair. I still call it Twitter by instinct, but I think of it as “X” when I see how awful it’s gotten.

bx56.bsky.social•178 days ago

I'm the same actually lmao

russellbarth.bsky.social•187 days ago

keep deadnaming it

shadeaurion.bsky.social•187 days ago

Call it Ex, because eeeerybody with a sense of decency is walking out on Elon

erradical64.bsky.social•187 days ago

In fairness, Elon Musk killed Twitter and turned it something else completely.

mmmkthxbi.bsky.social•187 days ago

Twitter is a distinction X doesn’t deserve. We lost X a long time ago. Only say twitter to annoy Elmo.

ctrev3than.bsky.social•187 days ago

as soon as he announced buying it, it was and will remain referred to as s**tter
hopefully the air here stays clear 😁

flourface.bsky.social•187 days ago

no, it's better

entransify.poke.social•187 days ago

i'm not going to give Elon the satisfaction as long as he deadnames his daughter.

it's petty, but as a trans person, i have every right to be.

silenciodogwood.bsky.social•187 days ago

eXit Today: Today's the day for this account's permanent departure from X, which provides only a mirage of a platform for non-MAGA users. In reality, it's virtual flypaper designed to distract non-authoritarian users from more meaningful activities. Thankful 4 the Detox! https://bsky.app/profile/silenciodogwood.bsky.social/post/3lb3mlyexms2v

thephoenixlights.bsky.social•187 days ago

I call it Shitter. That’s what he turned it into.

delsorou.bsky.social•187 days ago

I'll stop deadnaming his platform when he stops deadnaming his daughter.

irwaller.bsky.social•187 days ago

“Xitter” or “Xittier”?… This is the question.

just-michauuu.bsky.social•187 days ago

Twitter was alright, it wasn't perfect, but I liked it... X SUCKS

dicksciple69.bsky.social•187 days ago

Try 'twiXter': it incorporates both names, it's fun, and it references a really unhealthy candy bar.

progressivegop.bsky.social•187 days ago

I believe the official name is now "X Social".

Or at least it will be as soon as the (surely required) merger goes through.

Welcome. Feel free to treat the block button like a restraining order against the desperate horde form X Social still seeking to abuse people.
