   It is totally OK to deadname corporations. In fact, it is to be encouraged. Why help with their rebranding?

   X is the name of the windowing system I use. Metta was the woman who first showed me Linux. Threads are what I use to run concurrent processing.

   Don't let them colonise our namespaces.

     X and meta are generic terms. When you use them to refer to Twitter and Facebook you evade my filters.

     I'm starting to unfollow and mute accounts that do this, which unfortunately includes some of my mutuals.

     If you are posting a headline that refers to Facebook as "Meta" please at least put the word Facebook in the post so I don't have to see it.

     You're not paid by Musk or Zuckerberg, so please don't do their rebranding work for them.
