I still don't comprehend why Dorsey didn't just try to make the largest ActivityPub server on the web. Instead we get a haphazard rewrite of everything ActivityPub has already solved and a zany "you need an invite to get into this club" airdrop that feels dated to gmail 20 years ago. The service feels too much like "Elon bought Twitter, now we need to make Twitter again". That Dorsey is the principal investor makes it hard to think that it is anything else.
The only market it seems to be gaining traction in from my perspective is millennials who have nostalgia for old Twitter -- and as someone who grew up with old Twitter, I can say I don't really miss it.
