    That's weirdly kinda the biggest blunder IMO. Every other similar platform is missing the verbiage, but then they go and hamstring themselves into the same boat. Like, what do you call a Threads or Mastadon post? Certainly not a Tweet, prob just a generic Post. It was a differentiator, and now they've voluntarily thrown it away.

    Not that I care much, never was on it in the first place

    Twats. Past tense for tweets, obviously.

    Posts. Same as I call them on every platform. Fuck the branding exercise.

    I heard “Xclamations” somewhere which I will admit is somewhat clever. Too long though. And also “X” sucks. “Twitter” and “tweet” are way too iconic and this was a terrible move. Musk’s reputation is what’s killing the service, not the branding. The name and logo were a couple of the only things the creators got right in the first place.

    I thought Xcommunications might have potential, but it’s too long
