The only people who think cis is a slur are the ones who use trans as a slur.

They think any descriptor but "normal" is a slur because anyone who isn't cis, hetero, and white is seen as lesser by them.

As crappy as it would be, charging users a couple bucks a month for ad free and the ability to use third party apps would probably have been the best move they could make.

I've hoped for decentralizing a lot of stuff over the years and every time the clunky nature prevented them from taking off.

Sadly, until there were centralized spaces the average person didn't really get into the internet when it was IRC chats and disconnected forums.

I drive a hour and a half for my laser place. Do your research to determine if the closer place is worth it.
