You could point to Mr. Musk by using his South African origins, but also with circumlocutions such as: Zip2 collaborator X.com collaborator (by and by, part of PayPal, of which a principal and also a primary joint stock-holding guy, and so an original PayPal Mafia "mafioso") Mars colony instigator, for which aim's promotion also principal of orbital propulsion firm with first major victory involving launching an orbi…
But for fact that said individual was said prior, and that I am slightly in a similar domain to him, I would not know which (singular) particular individual half of that points to

Most difficult is accounting for, and introducing into a chat, folks wholly unknown to anybody you talk to. A trick is to try to say how you know of such folks, finding a path or paths along which you can form a link, such as "my dad's mom's son" or "my pal's husband's pal" or "a woman who knows my boss from an old job" or "I know of a particular lady's writings from a class I had at school". This social platform's a…
I was okay with using "imo" and "lol" in words in this discussion as full forms also lack taboo glyphs, and I concur that such with said glyph is tantamount to a violation.
But if you say "300" in words and not digits, you would say two words both lacking suitability for that forum. So I ask, possibly oratorically: by what logic is "300" OK if "viz." (or "BRB") isn't?
If we want something like Twitter, but in the form of an open source protocol, we need to name it and brand it well. I remember when I first used Linux, I didn't "trust" it. There wasn't a singular OS called Linux and the GUI applications looked low quality because they didn't have good design or branding. To most people, the UI and branding is the product, so when they see it poorly implemented, it simply feels like…
Translation of posting without using 'E': It's Similar to That Bird Social App, But Without a Fifth Symbol Mastodon has an app with particular quirks and many humans find it joyful. Mastodon boffins did it again. A particular boffin going by initials M.R. works as a digital craftsman at a corporation with initials I.A. (that has http archival capability), did craft a social app oulipo.social with an odd quirk: said a…

What, gay? (I wasn't going to, but skimming his words, I can't spot what this is a followup to; so I thought I'd ask, though with that initial jocular quip.)
While "rhyme" unfortunately contains the letter "e", although not the sound; "quay" doesn't contain it, but does have the sound (it's pronounced "key") I couldn't think of another word that rhymes with e but doesn't contain it. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quay

Personally I find interesting the general idea that adding constraints to a system leads to creative outlets, forcing the participants to break entablished thinking patterns. The fun stuff here is not the content, but the alternative paths the writer has to take to convey the message.
Even without the e's you can probably infer meaning with a high probability of success.
> Reeve replied to my email in less than an hour, with nearly 300 words and no appearance of the banned character. I attempted to write this article without using the letter "e" and gave up after five minutes of weak effort. 0x7265657665 did dispatch back as to my communication in duration not in surplus of an hour with almost 300 words and without a taboo glyph in sight. Although I did try to author this column with…
