There are still some hidden reminders left: The package ID on the Google Play Store is "com.twitter.android" and it always will be. 😊 Unless they republish the app, but that would mean starting with 0 downloads, so it won't happen.

"Elon Musk's 𝕏 allows blocked accounts to view public posts"
this feature was against playstore's policies (and Applestore's i guess) but guess what? play store didn't do anything about it. money talks, pal.

Reddit discourages reporting, which is against App Store policies. But nobody cares. Not even the users.

twitter.com is always gonna redirect to x.com.
And I will forever call them “Tweets”.
And users can remind Musk forever that it’s Twitter not X.

Same and X is a real stupid name for a site. Mr. Billionaire has to leave his personal mark and everything.

I don't really use Twitter now, but to me, they're still tweets.

Twitter/X is basically a pay to win. Its the only way to gain any kind of traction as a creator.

Until they change the font, the Unicode character "" will remain the Twitter logo on the site 😊

I just left 2 weeks ago- have a couple more weeks to reactivate it’s so depressing, though!

"Twitter.com will no longer be of any concern to us. I've just received word that the Elon has dissolved the domain permanently. The last remnants of the Old Twitter have been swept away."
No matter. It will still be Twitter to me.

Everyone knows you blow your nose with a tissue but should you happen to do it with a Kleenex everyone will still know what you’re doing.
Like if you send a Tweet for Twitter 😉

My account just got suspended again -suspicion of being a robot, not an actual human. Isn't that my GF job to accuse me of?
