I think it's not true.
I can still able to connect manually by going inside their profile. Where we have a "more" button.
And the link you share getting a 404 error. @leomosley

Oops the repo was private. Should be fixed now.

Yes you are right, don't have a fix right now for the follow or message.

The thing is they could be someone you have already connected or not but you can't tell unless you to their profile and click on the more tab like you said.

You can only send around 100-200 invitation requests a week so its probably quicker to just let it skip the follow/message and you'll reach the limit pretty quickly anyway. 🤷‍♂️
