I appreciate semantics and nuance, and often get called a pedant, but you seem to be missing the argument being made. It's not technically 'invite-only' though

I appreciate semantics and nuance, and often get called a pedant, but you seem to be missing the argument being made. It's not technically 'invite-only' though it in practice, it is 'invite-only.' This looks like a product management shortcoming that seems all too prevalent at Twitter HQ. I say this as someone who was on Twitter in early '08, but quit late'10. I still believe in Twitter's value, which I thought was obvious, then couldn't understand the disinterest, and finally surprised it caught on with the US public. The company really has a long way to go in product management WRT user experience and developer ecosystem. Mastodon is coming for Twitter.
