A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, it's just like when Prince changed his name. The media will just keep going "X, formerly known as Twitter" forever.

Prince changed his name to an unprinteable character so they had no choice.

As I recall, some of the media used the short form TAFKAP (the artist formerly known as Prince).

As for xtwitter, I vote for FKT. Pronounced as a word.
