        Who are you quoting, and why do they think “paywall” means you have to make a free account?

        Putting quotes around the wrong word doesn’t make it the right word.

              Yes, they meant “Twitter is putting up barriers to browsing content.” Even if paywall wasn’t the right word, their intent was clear. Not sure why we feel the need to dive into whether they used the right word when the issue is Twitter (and Meta) attempting to seal off their users’ content behind a login. Most everyone seems to have understood them.

                What the fuck kind of question is that? It’s misinformation. It’s misleading, because it makes a claim that is patently untrue. It makes an outright accusation that is demonstrably false. It’s not ambiguous, it’s not “close enough,” it’s simply incorrect. There is no reason to call it something that it isn’t, and every reason not to make some asinine false accusation.

                Why are you up my fucking ass about it anyway? I called someone out for saying something that ISN’T TRUE, I must be a real piece of shit, right? Don’t worry, next time I read some misleading ass shit I’ll just go fuck myself instead of saying anything.

            It’s bizarre to me that people will lose their goddamn shit over a misleading or just bad title when it’s an article, but when it’s a text post you’re a dick for pointing it out. Which is it? Do we give a fuck about accurate headlines or not?

            “Paywall” means something. Twitter is not paywalled. There’s no reason to be a shit about it, I’m not attacking you, it’s just a misleading headline.

              Who’s really “being a shit” here? I see nobody else being hostile but you. Accusing people of that which you are doing yourself is called “projection”.

              Nobody else is pedantically picking apart silly things like wording and terminology and then lashing out at others. Just you. We all knew what he meant. Were you ever told as a kid to “pick your battles”? Do you know what that means? Not everything deserves a response.

              What’s the matter, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and decide to take it out on the world? Significant other break up with you or cheat on you? Got fired? Did your pet die? Why are you so angry at the world? What did it ever do to you? None of those things (whichever is applicable) is our problem.

              Please, let’s leave those kinds of toxic, hostile behaviors on the dead bird site and reddit where they belong. We’re trying to build something new here.

              Otherwise, “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” and people are just going to report you for repeated incivility and offensive language.

              EDIT: And your reply has been reported too. Since all you know is how to behave like a child, maybe we should all treat you like one.
