I've never had a Twitter account. Didn't see the need to view a celebrity's random thoughts in real time.
before musk it was a good way to pass time. You didn't have to follow celebs, i followed an account that posted for example funny patch notes from game developers or an account called "thetweetofgod", or what would a dog say if he could talk (it was adorable).

There were a lot of inventive and interesting accounts

You're not forced to comply. Fake news.

Precious snowflakes.
Now, now, Suzieanne, don't be too concerned,
I am sure they can find plenty of other platforms to use “cis” and “cisgender”

Huh?


George Orwell, 1984:

To meet the ideological requirements of Ingsoc (English Socialism) in Oceania, the Party created Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and restricted vocabulary designed to limit the individual person's ability to think critically or to articulate subversive concepts, such as personal identity, self-expression, and free will.

The term I used was " designed " to force people to comply. Forced, who knows, not yet I suspect ,by why have a compelled speech law unless it can be used, yes?. And watch the 5 min clip, too easy.

Er no it wasn’t, it was designed for the exact purpose I cited in my post. Use it or don’t use it no one but a control freak would care.
Do you care if people choose to use it?
