Copyright isn't Twitter rules...
Okay, seems you need help reading. So let me take DIRECT quotes.
I mean That's literally paragraphs worth of content telling you that YOUR CONTENT IS COVERED BY COPYRIGHT. The whole of twitters Terms of service is you granting twitter a perpetual license to YOUR CONTENT.
But right... Nothing copyrighted about comment content... and yet they mention it over and over that it is covered? Are you okay?
Yes your comment is covered under copyright. Including the ones you just made.
Covered under copyright != how easy it would be to claim damages.
It literally is.

We can even look at this from the opposite direction. Here's a full list of works that cannot be Copyright.

Notice that "comments on the internet" isn't one of them.
You can claim copyright. And just like every claim you'll need to take out to court and litigate... that costs money. If i were to take your content and simply claim it as my own you could do it. Would it net you anything? No... but you could do it.
A work made on a post-it note can 100% be copyrightten.
Once again, all content can be copyrighted. Depending on the complexity of the work you'll have a hard time defending the copyright, but if you can prove it was taken from you then you will get your win in court because have copyright.
