On this screen, the user can decide how to follow another Twister user. There are two methods: publicly follow and privately. Public following is visible to any Twister user; private following is not.
Because Twister is a peer-to-peer system, it relies on clients' computers to power the network. This is done on a volunteer basis, since doing so is CPU-intensive. In exchange for generating blocks, users can post advertisements, or "Promoted Posts."
