Tried it out once, out of curiosity. I mean, I tried to try it out.. until I found out you have to pay money to post anything on there, hoping to get it back from others who engage with your stuff. And apparently, that isn't enough:

There is a one-time cost of $9.99 to access the feature, but once you have purchased the app, you do not have any further costs.

How private and encrypted is it if there's an one-time cost? Is it even open source? The fact that private keys are used to have a private chat is even more worrying..

The fact that Twetch exists makes the entire Wright argument even funnier. He hasn't only copied Bitcoin - the community is going for larger names as well. Wouldn't be surprised if some Fecebook is under development in their community.. This entire SV thing is all about copying.

These comments from this Reddit thread about Twetch is worth a little laugh.
