i havent seen anything about it on here maybe because its not relevant to my circles so i feel compelled to make my followers aware that on Wednesday, September 1st, there will be an ongoing boycott organized by marginalized Twitch streamers to protest how the platform has done absolutely fuck all nothing to protect marginalized streamers from harassment, hate raids, the massive bot problem, and more.
as you might expect, those participating will not be streaming or watching twitch streams on the 1st. as a marginalized streamer myself i will of course be participating in this boycott and i urge you all to do the same.
here’s some articles about the boycott and surrounding circumstances for more information / sources:
