Unless you're an anti-fascist ... Musk made sure to personally ban the large anti-fascist accounts immediately upon taking over twitter

Also the word "cisgender" is banned

Yes, I'm intentionally being facetious using "free speech" with the same implication that most people complaining about the lack of "free speech" on Bluesky or Mastodon do, which is to say the freedom to post racist right-wing propaganda and hate speech without consequence.
No, I want actual free speech, where Nazis are allowed to freely post their nonsense and I’m allowed to freely laugh at them. And Twitter is not that.
