For those people they should all contact the government agencies that are still on Twitter and demand they switch to Bluesky.
I agree with the sentiment, but the action doesn’t do anything to address the immediate issue

Oh noes: a private company that has no duty to challenge falsehoods has given up any pretense of giving a fuck.

- Non-Westerner that never have or realized alternative platform exist.
- Artist that dependant on mainstream social media reach. (some artists already have 100K+ followers there, fedi also have limited reach due to instance blocking, e.g. you're on Mastodon.art and want to reach Japanese audience (mainly misskey.io, but t was defederated on most of Western instance.)
- People with social network bubble outside Westernsphere, they only have exclusively local feed on their Twitter.
- People outside Westernsphere that already tried fediverse, but moving back as fediverse is still Western-centric or does not have their own community on feidverse.
- Community that does not have monetary power to invest on their own fedi instance.
Some friends of mine also think Twitter just has better content to consume when scrolling through. Too comfy & don't care enough about who runs it & the issues to jump off. It gives them what they want.

I know for a fact that it’s literally being limited by not allowing it to be read or seen
How do you know this? If you can't see it or read it, how do you know this?
And you said it yourself, it’s being treated differently by preventing its diffusion and visibility.
That isn't censorship.
Or tell me, why is a neutral word like cisgender being censored at all? But spare me the gaslighting.
Again - it's not being censored. You don't get posts removed for saying it. You don't get banned. The term is a controversial one, it's not "neutral". "Cisgender" has no need to even exist as a word. You don't need a word to mean "not trans", which is 99.99% of the population. The word "transgender" existing negates a need for "cisgender" to exist. "Cisgender" is really only ever used as an insult, which is why it's treated as such. There's no word for "not blind", because not being blind is the default, the standard.
First, don’t fall into the trap of confusing censorship with moderation.
It's funny you say that. Moderation that removes all differing opinions, and bans people who express them, is censorship. Limiting the reach of posts deemed "hateful", while not removing them or banning the person posting them, is not censorship.
How do you know this? If you can’t see it or read it, how do you know this?
Because it's been reported by the news that I cited.
That isn’t censorship.
It's the literal definition. Just because it's thinly veiled as a moderation measure by a billionaire doesn't mean that the core concept doesn't apply. Like I said, don't confuse it either way.
You don’t get posts removed for saying it. You don’t get banned.
And like I said, censorship is not only when your content gets removed or you get banned. You can have a similar effect with different mechanisms that effectively render content invisible, and I find it disingenuous of you not to consider that.
“Cisgender” has no need to even exist as a word.
You don’t need a word to mean “not trans”,Brother, we have created entire fictional languages for less, and have names for concepts you can't even conceive of. Your argument is fragile. And your monolignualism is showing with those nearsighted takes.
“Cisgender” is really only ever used as an insult,
Cisgender has been thrown at Musk and his supporters because they treat it as an insult. Don't even. lol
Limiting the reach of posts deemed “hateful”, while not removing them or banning the person posting them, is not censorship.
It's most definitely a form of censorship, and I will die on this hill tonight.

From your own source:
According to TechCrunch, users who write “cis” or “cisgender” on the X mobile app receive a full-screen message stating, “This post contains language that may be considered a slur by X and could be used in a harmful manner in violation of our rules.” Users can choose to continue publishing the post or delete it.
Strange censorship that is, letting you say what you want.

I know, strange times we live in where "liberal" words are treated as if they were so dangerous that they need a consent screen. I don't see that happening to hate speech and you're here defending this.
I know it doesn't register in your mind the implications but I don't expect you to.
Btw, you seem to be defending a company that does this shit:

Or mastodon.

It's becoming like Facebook, which is were people's parents, uncles and aunts and even grandparents (as well as technically inept organisations) are, but you yourself either moved on or are too young to have ever wanted to be there ("because nobody my age is there"), only whilst Facebook is merelly a Propaganda outlet for the Far Right, Twitter is openly Nazi.

Inertia, at least in some cases. It takes a lot of work to rebuild your audience. Leaving is accelerating, though, albeit slowly.
In other words, the so called "Networking Effects" (which have nothing to do with technical networks and are actually about how "people go were people are, so the more people are in a place the more people go there, the more people are there, the more people go there and so on") in the business of social networking that made a handful of players dominant, are very hard to revert.

They asolutely should and likely do have a duty to challenge falsehoods.
The word private makes people feel like it isnt anyone's business but that isnt the case.

I'd rather "trust" a company that cuts the bullshit with notices like
The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.to remind the user that trusting noncredible information from unreliable sources is a ridiculous concept.

Except for the users presenting shit as facts and it being promoted through their platform.

Based on their username and posts they are here to troll.
Yeah, he’s a really low effort bad faith troll that’s been basically just walking into conversations to sling shit everywhere for months. Not even worth interacting with.

Working for me now
I'll take this opportunity to encourage you to limit your Twitter use as much as possible, you know why.

Stopped using it months ago just kept for the occasional work tweet and so no scammer impersonates me

When is the last time you demanded a government agency do something that wasn't already their idea, and they did it

Bluesky is not a true alternative. Just recently there were news about them banning opposition accounts in Turkey.

A company that relies on ads putting ads in their service? Oh no, the horror....
