MODERATORS
Instead of renaming it to "X," Elon magically renamed his platform to "X, formerly known as Twitter."
It annoys me more than it should every time I read that. Like one person gets to sit down every day and make some proclamation, and now everyone else has to go along with it.
I'm not sure what is better, but even something like "X/Twitter" might be easier than repeatedly saying "X, formerly known as Twitter"
for short, how about
?
I love the /-style of writing it, precisely because of the way it would be pronounced.
Reminds me of the artist formally known as Prince
The difference being that Prince did that change to screw his record label intentionally.
Other differences include the facts that Prince had talent, and that some people liked him.
I did not know that (the label part)
*formerly
But since he's known as Prince again, what you wrote is technically correct.
Feels just like reddit
