We’ve temporarily added the X logo as an available icon in core Discourse to allow everyone to make the branding switch on their own. Upgrading the entirety of Font Awesome in Discourse is a very large project, so this is meant to allow a workaround in the mean time.
If you’re looking to make the change, you can follow these steps:
1. Add `temporary-twitter-x` to your `svg icon subset` site setting
2. Create a new theme component and add the following code to the noted sections:
And that should be that. 🙂 👍
You may also wish to update your site text customisations to use the new branding if you haven’t already:
`/admin/customize/site_texts?q=twitter`
Hopefully this will suffice until a more permanent solution is in place 🤞 (or it gets changed to something entirely different next month 🙂)

When this eventually happens, will it be optional? I don’t care what Elon says, I’m calling it Twitter, it is not “x”, and I’m keeping it that way on my sites. The logo looks bad anyways, I want to keep the bird.

Even if it was the default behavior, you could still use the same code in reverse to replace the 𝕏 with the 🐦.

I’m not a developer, so I don’t know how to do this, but when using these instructions I get an admin warning banner that points to this page…
