Following identity changes, X, formerly known as Twitter, will stop calling posts ‘tweets,’ or ‘tuítes’ in Portuguese, by the end of this month.

The word, which has been in dictionaries for some years now, will be replaced by the term ‘post’ and other similar variations. As for the word ‘retuítes,’ which referred to commenting on someone else’s post, it will now be called ‘reposts.’
