The Golden Preference is the modern replacement for the inherently-flawed "golden rule."  It was first created by Randolf Richardson on May 27, 2020 (then improved twice with the final rendition completed on March 16, 2022), and it's comprised of the following nine words:

"Strive to treat others in accordance with their preferences."

Why was the Golden Preference created?  The Golden Preference was created to resolve inherent problems with the Golden Rule, which cannot be updated because most Christians refuse to permit any modifications to the Holy Bible.  The Golden Preference also eliminates the authoritarian underpinnings of the Golden Rule by being structured as more of a suggestion than a definitive rule.

Is the Golden Preference a rule?  No, it's a general guideline.

Do I have to adhere to the preferences of others?  No, the word "strive" signifies an intention or a desire to do so, but without sacrificing the necessary flexibility to also exercise better judgement.  For example, someone who is incarcerated in prison because they were convicted of a crime may prefer to be free, but your better judgement would override their preference to aid them in escaping.

How is the Golden Rule flawed?  It fails to take into consideration the preferences of others by incorrectly requiring that one's own personal standards are the appropriate baseline.  People tend to have a wide variety of different preferences, and what a practitioner of the Golden Rule prefers may not necessarily be consistent with the preferences of others to whom they're trying to apply the Golden Rule.  For example, if you're in the mood to listen to classical orchestral music but someone else in the same room is in the mood to listen to heavy metal music, using the Golden Rule would require that you play a selection the classical music for the other person, which would obviously be incompatible with their preferences (the Golden Preference leaves the scenario open to other options and approaches, such as engaging in a conversation about which type of music to play).
