 Yes, I will keep using the word tweet even on Nostr. 

That's my way to give credit to nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgsprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqc267ea for everything he did, and is doing, for social media. 
 I don't mind. 
 Nostr is the new twitter.
In fact, to really boost adoption, we should make it official 😁 
 That's an interesting note. 😏 Or are you talking about the verb? Are you tweeting notes? 
 and call it twitter. 
 it's not a tweet it's a note - that's the brand. Don't shy away from eclipsing what @jack achieved with Twitter, you're both pioneers. 🤝 
 BOLD 
 keeping the bird alive 🐦  
 And you are driving a PayPal? 
 Jack sent us all to heck by designing an echo chamber cultivation machine instead of helping Aaron Swartz build up humanity's information networks 
 I sometimes call it tweet because I'm not sure what we are supposed to call it but still hanging onto the word "twitter" and "tweet" on purpose is lame. 

I find a lot of people who still call it twitter are just angry deep down inside because the person who bought it doesn't align with their values. So it's their way to trying to express their anger.

It's re-branded. It's X 
 For some people it’s probably that but I think for most people it’s about the name being silly. 
 Most don't really understand or think about the true reason Elon Musk bought twitter and rebranded it to X.

The name was picked for a reason meant for the future but if we told the "most" they would not accept it and think it's "silly"

 I think you are right in your first paragraph, ”[m]ost” don’t give a shit. However, given that premise I also think that same lot would accept whatever explanation for the name change you would give them.   
 then @jack should buy the trademark back. 
 then @jack should buy the trademark back. 
 That 'note' is an interesting 'post' that you just 'tweeted'. 😂

Keep up the great work, Vitor! 🥂👍 
 People try to come up with other words, but tweet sticks. I haven't found anything else that makes sense or rolls off the tongue as well.  
 Like creating Bluesky? 
 My parents called every system we owned a "Nintendo" as a way of giving Nintendo credit for everything that they did. 
 HOLY GLAZE 
 Oldschool Twitter was genuely amazing. An era has ended with Musks' takeover - probably a while before with the hyper-commercialization. 
 credit where credit is due! @jack 🧡

i’m proposing though to stick to the OG slang :

twitter —> twttr
tweet   —> twit

 I just like “tweet” I think it’s nice and we are all a bunch of birds 🕊️ 
 Heresy!! 
 Still trying to think of what he did for social media other than creating the most cancerous platform that has ever existed. 
 I call them sqwaks

I imagine that's what an ostrich sounds like
