"the year twitter died" is passive, and generally not a preferred way to write this, as there are specific actions by one (EM) or several individuals. The active phrase, "the year twitter was killed", is more reflective of the actual situation, and thus better communication. FTFY.
But "was killed" is literally a passive construction
And "died" is active too
