Twister is a decentralised, experimental peer-to-peer microblogging program. The system uses end-to-end encryption to safeguard communications. It is based on both BitTorrent- and Bitcoin-like protocols and has been likened to a distributed version of Twitter. In 2020 the original author Miguel Freitas announced that he would no longer be leading Twister development for the "foreseeable future", however the Twister network has continued functioning, and suggested that others might wish to fork the project. It was also announced that the website might go offline as hosting was due to expire. The Twister core had been at version 0.9.40 since 2018. The source code remains available on GitHub.
