   @seamus I hear folks are calling them “xcrements” now. The verb is to “xcrete”.

     You just can't minimise what it means to delete a brand like Twitter. Language is fundamental to our experience of the digital world. More than its name, the concept of a 'tweet' has become so simple as a reference. Changing that to 'a post on X' really does make that platform lose a touchstone and become Just Another Platform in the wide world of socials.
