    I like how Dorsey waited until NOW when there’s no active “fuck Elon where can we go?” campaign. He should’ve opened it up, even if it had some bugs, 6-12 months ago when people were actively trying to flee. But whatever.

      I’ve got nothing to prove this, but I’m pretty sure the purpose of the invite system was not to prevent the fledgling platform from being overloaded, but to construct a social graph of people coming aboard the platform.
