This phrase cracks me up. It is always in every article that is written about someone posting on this platform. It's on purpose, I suppose. I feel if this is some kind insult but I fail to see why.

I notice left-wingers refuse to call it X and still call it twitter.

Deadnaming was a bannable offense 3 years ago on Twitter.

i have difficulty with x

but its not a branding political stance.

i like to say tweets and tweeting and don't know how to replace these words with a platform called X.

I think a lot of people still call it twitter that aren't left-wingers, including myself. Calling it Twitter is just a habit I guess.

agreed I still say those words and twitter too.

Xeeting and Xosted - is that what we’re supposed to replace it with?

“Elon just xosted that on X

He’s xeeting right now”

People are flippant about but, but X being a shitty name doesn’t help the situation

Post and repost is how it is identified on the X platform now.

People commonly substitute the letter X when speaking of something of unknown value. Folks that use social media can figure out the reference and eventually most people will as well but for now it may be confusing for some.

Twitter to X has to be the dumbest re-branding of any product in history.

X is the unknown variable. Elon is telling us something in an obfuscated manner. Lordy, what is it??
