I certainly wouldn't be opposed to anything that could promote calling them literally anything except "skeets". Like, I get the joke, but it's honestly just kind of an unappealing word. Lol

All I can think of when I hear that word is "From the Windooooowsss to the Walls....."

kazianova.bsky.social•67 days ago

I have been calling anything in this format (X, Bsky, threads) “a twitter”

Elon threw away one of the most valuable pieces of cultural branding ever made and we shouldn’t let him get away with that lmao

kazianova.bsky.social•67 days ago

I also like to refer to X exclusively as “X, the everything app” in the most clunky way possible because it reminds me of his lame ass branding

johngpettus.bsky.social•67 days ago

Too many negative associations

rdp2.bsky.social•67 days ago

Okay hear me out… what if we called them truths

Truths, re-truths, truth threads etc

this site was originally a project of twitter back when that company was still called that, so it has about as much claim to the name IMO

Like some medieval kingdom's claim to be the inheritors of the Roman empire, love it

sir.bsky.social•67 days ago

honestly sometimes I just call it tweeting on here

the86kid.bsky.social•67 days ago

The guy does give big "he can't play with my toy!" "but you didn't want it anymore?" "Shut up yes I did give it back" energy to be fair

the-holy-salmon.bsky.social•67 days ago

Well... we have seen his reaction to his other Xes.

zigi-now9.bsky.social•67 days ago

I call posts here tweets, because they feel the same.

thisguyisagiraffe.bsky.social•67 days ago

Honestly, a flex

paxfeline.bsky.social•67 days ago

We could make Twitter a generic term for micro-blogging platforms.

Bluesky is the best Twitter.
X is the worst Twitter.

wdorf.bsky.social•67 days ago

I already do. If I mention something I saw/read "on Twitter", I'll only clarify that I mean here if they try to correct me with that dumbass name they're calling it now.

xdresstera.bsky.social•67 days ago

I still call it Twitter so I have to call this bluesky to differentiate

lithelyunshod.bsky.social•67 days ago

Hank Green has advocated for calling BlueSky posts "tweets"; as a term that has transcended brand and is just a class of thing.

329bubby.bsky.social•67 days ago

When I mention to people about something I saw on here I already have to pause for a moment to stop myself from calling it twitter

dustydrink.bsky.social•67 days ago

Good tweet.

warsux.bsky.social•67 days ago

Fuck twitter blue sky's are better to fly

hedorozone.bsky.social•67 days ago

I think we should call our bluesky tweets ”boops”

christineparkerco.com•67 days ago

I love this. I’m in.

picodegalpal.bsky.social•67 days ago

i use the term retweet verbally so im with it

stahlfrau.bsky.social•67 days ago

calling THAT twitter is more likely to annoy him and his fans
calling this place by its name means more people might discover it and switch
also, there isn't really anything else to call THAT without feeling dirty, and this place is already known as the good twitter

tehlily.bsky.social•67 days ago

Most, if not all, of the news articles I read call that company Twitter. It's still Twitter.

And while I'm at it: It's the Gulf of Mexico and it's Denali, too.

deadling.bsky.social•67 days ago

I still call my timeline a "dash" from my tumblr days.

dylantidepressant.bsky.social•67 days ago

I'm still in my Tumblr days, lol
