Twitter (X) is going to take my username @sports, any ideas how I might keep it?

They have the ability to size it as it's not a domain or anything. So they have the legal ability to tell you to eff off.

You can try to go to court and maybe get a settlement, but talk to a lawyer first.

The only thing you can do now is add another dent and scuff in Elon's once perfect image, as opposed to going quietly. Maybe with enough damage, people will see him for the monster he is.

And I know domains aren't technically permanent, but they're far less risk than ephemeral handles because you actually have some rights as a registrant.

Of note is how lame their offer is. Like because they "appreciate your loyalty" they'll give you some shitty adjacent handle that nobody had claimed. Realistically just tell them to fuck off, that they should be personally disgusted with themselves, and leave.

Anyway, as others pointed out, you can't do anything. Just tweet about it, make a fuss, and stop using Twitter.

They're showing you right where to hit 'em.
