It's a pretty big twitter clone. According to https://fediverse.network/pleroma it has over 58,000 users over 767 instances. Mastodon is over 3M users across ~3000 instances, and these two platforms federate too, which is cool. In theory, twtxt could federate with them too.

If "for hackers" is a benefit then there are instances for that, such as fosstodon which has 13K users. As for the interface, there are lots of CLI/TUI mastodon clients. These other platforms do also support posting things like images, videos, etc so I guess being text only could be a distinguishing feature of twtxt.

I haven't looked too closely at twtxt though, so it's possible it has other key differences or improvements.

This is a very important different here in what we've built by extending the Twtxt spec.

We are __not__ just building yet another Twitter clone.

Twt.social is actually more similar (in fact) to micro.Blog (if you've ever used it?) But see my other comments above.
