  I signed up ages ago too, but I don't think they ever sent them out like that. I got an invite from someone else.

      Depends on your interests, my feed is too active. It's a lot of shitposting, some academics, journalists, and some just very online people.

      A lot of very prolific folks from Twitter moved there.

    They do send out invites to the waiting list but it definitely don’t represent the majority of invites being sent out

    They did early on. I got one that way when it was mostly developers and the app was basically a super early beta.

    It seems like that slowed down when they realized the invite tree is a really good moderation tool. Like if they catch a spammer or CSAM pervert or whatever, they can see who invited them and nip that shit in the bud.

    Also, they recently passed 1 million users and the developers said they’ll have to make some backend changes to handle 10 million users. So, they apparently really do need to manage growth and can’t just open it up.
