On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of “Twitter.com” to “X.com” automatically.
If a user typed in “Twitter.com,” they would see “Twitter.com” as they typed it before hitting “Post.” But, after submitting, the platform would show “X.com” in its place on the X for iOS app, without the user’s permission, for everyone viewing the post.
And shortly after this revelation, it became clear that there was another big issue: X was changing anything ending in “Twitter.com” to “X.com.”

Interesting reasoning, but I prefer mine. I will keep calling it Twitter if only because its CEO fumes when it’s being called Twitter. And I’m okay with that.
It is usually spelt “xitter”
I’m partial to Twixxer myself.
Twatter
I prefer Ex-twitter
The platform formerly known as Twitter.
Call it twitter, but just make it a mastodon instance. Toots not tweets.
I just… don’t talk about it at all… Nothing of value is lost.
