Gotta hate Time-Warner.

A lot of these aren't technically dead-names. They're parent corporations that exist to shuffle around profits and minimize tax and regulatory liabilities. Facebook and Google both continue to exist as properties owned by Meta and Alphabet.
-
I think its mostly a PR thing
-
-
Obligatory fuck Twitter
-
Chiquita Brands International? Nah United Fruit Company? Bingo
-
The only difference being Meta and Alphabet are the names of parent companies that Facebook and Google created to own themselves
-
The Meta rebrand was definitely about escaping baggage associated with the name Facebook. Alphabet you're right about though.
-
They also wanted to own VR and rebrand it as meta. I don’t think that moved worked out for them.

Deadnaming regions (using their indigenous names instead of colonial names)
-
Oh fuck, this is gonna be so challenging...
Does this mean we use Transliterations instead of Translations for country names?

I'll call it x once he sells the domain. Sell it you coward.
-
He did sell it…to himself. His AI company bought it.
-
-
Corporations are living like it's 1930.
Just change your name and the past goes away.
-
Is calling it Twitter is deadnaming?
Maybe we should tell this pervert of Mr Musk we call it Twitter as long he is referring to his daughter by her penis.
-
It will always, always be Monsanto.
-
Did they change it?
-
Bought by Bayer and quietly dropped
-

Companies didn't rename themselves. Rich CEOs renamed them against their will.
-
CEO: I am the Senate
-
If shareholders didn't do anything to stop it, then this is their will.
But given that it's a stupid decision, I've elected to ignore it.
(I'm not editing my brain-dictionary for something so stupid)

I think we should call it x. Twitter was this pioneering microblogging site. X is an extremist echo chamber that was created in 2023.
-
Funny thing is Twitter was cesspool even before Musk got his hands on it. I was actually impressed he managed to make it significantly worse.
-
twitter 2012-2015 was peak. ironically youtube 2012-2015 was peak.
basically dan and phil, grace, hannah, mamrie, and tyler oakley are the reason for the success of youtube and twitter not good and twitter.
-
It sure was, I'm willing to let that fact get buried so the contrast appears sharper, let time gild twitter.

-
That's why people call xitter which is comfortably close to shitter.
-
Something about xitter also has this sophomoric zit acne feel. And the name is weird, too.

Elsevier? Wiley-Blackwell! Springer? Pearson!
Academic publishers are scum.
-
does this mean you still call the bottle of high fructose corn syrup and caramel coloring aunt jemima
-
You can't take her from me, growing up she was the only person who every looked at me with kindness
-
-
Republicans? Whigs!
-
I thought this was about Blackwater, you know, the company that massacred unarmed civilians for shits and giggles
-
Meta? More like "Meta mis juevos en tu boca!"
Edit: Directed towards zucc, of course.
