Description
The platform has changed ownership and more importantly the name.
Currently we have 57 occurrences with the word “Twitter” as content on Transifex.
There are also a few occurrences with “X”, 5 to be precise. This is not easy to filter because of the great name ;-)
My question is, how do we deal with this?
Should we change “Twitter” in the strings to “X”? Or to “X (formerly Twitter)” (I vote for that).
Or do we not care and leave “Twitter”? (I don't know right now if the platform is still being used by Nextcloud)
The question came up on Transifex and I've also been contacted on Mastodon.

Research direction
Start with the Transifex search linked in the issue and review the 57 “Twitter” and five “X” occurrences. Determine which strings belong to Nextcloud and whether the platform is still used, then seek a maintainer decision on the preferred wording. Done means an agreed wording and an identified, complete set of affected strings.
