Why is the title of the HN post changed to read "Twitter", when the linked article title states correctly "X", and is otherwise identical?

It ultimately doesn't matter what a company wants to call themselves if the vast public just uses the old name

I mean, it does matter, and also HackerNews is the only bubble I interact with regularly that still holds on to the Twitter name like gollum and the one ring.

My understanding is that HN has rules against editorialization of headlines. This absolutely qualifies. The company is called X, the article calls it X. You don't have to like it, you don't have to use that name when you speak about the company, but editorializing the headline to name the company whatever the submitter wants is inappropriate.

I did that because I don't know anyone who doesn't still call it Twitter.

Well, when I got up this morning I didn't think I'd be doing this today:

> please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

It's pretty common in my circles to call it X now. Things change, most people adapt.

X (formerly Twitter) is how I’ve seen it cited elsewhere.
