Why is anyone with a functioning brain still on twatter???

Fucking delete your accounts! It's a fascist propaganda hate-filled trash media. You are basically saying you are ok with that pedo muskrat by keeping your account.

Is Twitch and twitter/X the same thing? Because the article says Twitch.

they are not. but they ultimately present similar problems since twitch is owned by amazon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect

In economics, a network effect (also called network externality or demand-side economies of scale) is the phenomenon by which the value or utility a user derives from a good or service depends on the number of users of compatible products. Network effects are typically positive feedback systems, resulting in users deriving more and more value from a product as more users join the same network. The adoption of a product by an additional user can be broken into two effects: an increase in the value to all other users (total effect) and also the enhancement of other non-users' motivation for using the product (marginal effect).

So network captured, non properly functioning brains.

Because other platforms censor pro-Palestine content much harder.

I'm using Upscrolled a bit now but the lack of desktop client is annoying.
