Thank me later alligator.
Twitter hasn’t existed for a while. Rust didn’t leave twitter, they left a corpse
It’s to clear possible confusion with X11.
Xitter (pronounced shitter) works well enough
I used (for a short time) to maintain a usage of Twitter instead of X, to participate on pissing of Musk along with the crowd, but to me it makes no sense anymore, X is indeed not what Twitter was years ago. It's not a name rebranding anymore, we all here know that. And IMO, Rust would not have left Twitter, like I wouldn't have. We left X, with everything that new name carries with.
Functionality changes, community and users are changing and off course the leadership, rights and branding changed. Right, I think its fair to distinguish the Musk era with his X branding, from the legacy Twitter. So I give you that.
