Personally I put myself on the waitlist when I first heard about it way back when but still haven’t gotten one yet. But instead I’m not interested now that I’ve figured out Mastadon and lemmy, where I get the twatter and reddnot experience while also being able to federate between the two.

It has to scale up, so they add users slowly. I don’t know how to get an invite really. Occasionally someone I follow will give away an invite but I haven’t been lucky yet.

The only reason I can think of is to generate hype and false scarcity

why would you want to join another piece of shit social network that jack started only to increase engagement by allowing nazis, and every other stripe of fascist right wingnut almost complete autonomy, so he can once again sell it and/or your data to the highest bidder, after he gets bored again. believe the fuckfaces when they show you who they are the first time.

Also, this is the same guy claiming Elon Musk was the right one to run Twitter. Ooook. This is why I’m all in on the fediverse- if we continue to just invest in monolith social networks we’ll continue to give undue power to rich fucks, no matter how good the intentions are at the start. If they can monetize it, they will.
