Yes, most people use "anonymous" in this context to mean "not directly associated with a real name, or real identity." Arguing about pseudonymous vs. anonymous seems overly pedantic, and not particularly helpful.
In this case, I'd argue it is. Twitter is anonymous in the sense that you don't need a real name for an account, but the Twitter handle and picture is clearly presented on every Tweet and the user profile is not only very visible, it's actually pretty essential due to the follow-mechanic. This is very different compared to more anonymous forums like 4chan, (former) YikYak and it's successor Jodel. User profiles exist…
I've been using Twitter since it was invite only. I'm not a Twitter personality, I don't have impressive follow counts or viral tweets. I do tweet but mostly only so I can interact with my feed. I've left every other social network. No longer on Facebook. No interest in Instagram or TikTok. But Twitter I've continued to get value from. This is entirely because I'm able to curate my feed. My rules for twitter engageme…
I settled on a similar approach. I used to liberally follow all sorts of accounts that seemed even remotely relevant, but signal to noise was abysmal and there was way too much drama. Several times I was on the verge of quitting, even though Twitter was quite useful for promoting my own work and that of my students. But recently I decided to try a new approach and systematically unfollowed a lot of accounts. Now I st…
I see very little partisan politics on my timeline now.

> So you are for peaceful/voluntary online segregation of people who don't share your values. Does this translate to the real world? Of course it does. It's called having friends. If you're having a conversation in a restaurant, and a stranger at another table overhears you and decides to interrupt with their contrary opinion, do you "owe" them an argument, or do you tell them to mind their own business and go away?…
I don't know if you really "get" twitter until you've had a throw-away tweet from 7 years ago dredged up and used to try and destroy you.
The best I've had is being suspended for a 7 year old "kill all boomers" tweet :(

How do you do that? I only know you can disable all retweets from a particular person you follow. I didn't know you could disable non-quote retweets from all accounts you follow.

My first account was infosec twitter, I mostly would comment with positivity and was utterly ignored. So I let that account go away. After Elon made the offer to buy twitter because of censorship I created a new account to test to see if I get censored. I never said anything at all. I was busy liking or following people at first but I connected to my country's politicians and that was enough for me to be shadowbanned…
Doesn't the term 'shadowbanned' mean that your posts are just invisible to other users, without them telling you that? How would you know if you never posted anything?
There are also shadowban tester websites. https://shadowban.yuzurisa.com/

Nobody is trying to force you to engage with anyone on Twitter.
Have you ever... been on Twitter?
Seriously, Twitter randos often consider it a badge of honor to get blocked by someone after they tweet unsolicited hostile replies. "Ha, they blocked me, what a snowflake! Can't handle any criticism."
