no wait time anymore. you're in after you verify your email or phone number. i don't read replies often but it seems to be largely shill and bot free. it's hard to tell who's a shill and who's a demoralized concernfag after bad news but i'm sure both groups are there to a lesser extent than here. it seems to mostly be an echo chamber with lots of old twitter personalities from back in the day, which is nice. they're still producing quality content. i'm enjoying it so far.
