Just call it X. If nobody understands what you are talking about, consider it a positive.

Too lazy to do that.
Twix
I call it: "The thing formerly known as twitter".
It's short and concise, without using the actual stupid name, meaning not advertising "The thing formerly known as twitter".
I think x works if you think of it as short for excrement
Or just keep it more compact: Xitter.
Pronounced with sh.
Twits for short. Just overall, forever.
how about TWX?... ( pronounced ..twicks)
TwitX
Personally I think X premium is a better name
Lil nas X should rename himself to Lil Nas Twitter
I will still call it twitter. I hope twitter either dies or becomes a giant nostr relay.
How about "The platform formerly known as Twitter" since the name has been changed to a nonsensical symbol instead of a meaningful word?
Hush.
