It appears that the amount of testers for the first build is extremely small so you're far from alone. On AVSIM, only two members have "confirmed" that invites have been sent.

I feel your pain 😞

I did get to test Microsoft flight, back in the day. And have tested for other companies since then. I think in the end, if I had been chosen, I would have been as interested in seeing the process/methodology as I would in seeing the sim.

And what is wrong with Reddit?

Yes, they also posted a screenshot of the acceptance e-mail, which was sent 10-12 hours ago. Also they have a "very high-end" system, which means they're not looking to test exclusively on older hardware right now.

I hope they can publicly disclose the minimum system requirements today so I can know if my system has a chance or not.

Quite plssed off, not going to lie.

After the Assetto Corsa Ferrari Pack saga (where people who had no interest in the pack voted for a car that hardly any of the Assetto Corsa forum users wanted), I wouldn't trust them with anything.

Well, you have all kind of subreddits, some are more hostile or sketchy than others. The r/flightsim sub is not one of those to be honest, just a bunch of passionate people. The user who claimed he was accepted actually showed a screenshot of the invite so I'm not really doubting him. Of course, on the internet you're never 100% sure but given that said invites (or screenshots in this case) are extremely rare, I don't believe he stole it from someone else.

It's a social, there is no such thing as trust or not trusting a whole social based on a single event involving some people.

Anyway, it's a closed alpha. I am sure with time, either this time or in the next invitation wave, they'll expand the pc config ranges of the accepted testers

Seems oddly specific and weird to then have something against an entire site, with millions of users, one of the most visited websites in the US alone, because of a very specific sub-community with a handful of users.
