The branded content changes are set to take effect July 1.

In addition, this is the tweet that made the initial rounds and I think sparked this. https://twitter.com/zachbussey/status/1666111039736258561

What do you think of this? What also do you think of twitch’s statement that they simply were unclear?

[I will be focusing on my new instance /c/livestreaming@crystals.rest. If you would like to take over this community, just message me here or at misnina@crystals.rest]

A community about everything livestreaming! Questions, advice, warnings, news, and maybe a sprinkle of self-promotion.

All are welcome of any platform, regardless of FOSS or not.

Open Source Streaming Site Software

  • Peertube
  • Owncast

Open Source Broadcasting Software

  • Open Broadcaster Software

Rules

  • Be respectful, and do not harshly judge other’s preferences or ideologies for streaming. You can still disagree, but be civil about it.
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
  • Self-promotions should be contained within periodic plugin posts for all. It’s not against the rules to link to your socials if it feels pertinent to the conversation or to provide examples.
  • No direct links to NSFW content, but it is allowed to talk about the accounts in general. Yes, this means talking about sex worker streams is acceptable.
  • Only post drama if related to streaming as a whole. **
  • Memes are allowed.

** Two streamers getting into a personal beef with each other is not related to the platform of streaming as a whole. A ban or terrible action of a streamer might be related, if for example, it set a possibly bad precedent for that platform as a whole, or would cause worrying moderation attitudes.
