Just a reminder, Twitch still hasn't commented on multiple calls to remove Autism Speaks from their charity platform.

The only thing they did was merge this into the main suggestion about removing AS and adding charities that actually help people with Autism. To this day, that thread has 1.1k upvotes (pretty high for Uservoice suggestions) with zero response from Twitch.

Twitch needs to at least acknowledge the communities' concerns and do what the thread OP suggested and add charities that actually advocate for people with Autism such as the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and the Autistic Women and Nonbinary Network.

Stream Updates and Future Plans!

Rest of 2021

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve streamed, nearly a week at this point, a few reasons for this:

It was my sister’s birthday over the weekend

We’ve also been doing a lot of moving of stuff so there hasn’t really been an ideal time to stream (I am being purposely ambiguous for privacy reasons)

I’m redesigning my stream! More on that below

When will I stream next?

To be honest, I’m not entirely sure. Of course, I won’t be streaming tomorrow because of the protest, and then the day after I will be starting back at school, so it’ll be difficult to plan around my new routine.

Some positives!!

I’m redesigning my stream! I’ve been messing around in Fusion (much to my GT710’s dismay) and I’m really enjoying the design process, so stay tuned for that! It’s going to feature a new colour scheme and (thanks to @oingoboingogaylord) a new logo! I love my Majora’s Mask pfp (which was also made by Connor), but I don’t see it as very effective as any type of branding.

I finally made a YouTube channel! It’s currently still under construction, I don’t see myself making any videos until I’ve finished my redesigns and when I’m confident enough with Da Vinci Resolve, but stay tuned for when it’s finally, officially live and uploading!

Some not so positives

Like I said, I’m starting school, so I can’t guarantee consistency for a while. I do hope the extra routine will help me be more consistent though.

My capture card broke!! I’m going to refund it, but unfortunately this means that until it’s here, I won’t be able to stream Switch, Wii (or any future consoles that I get) games, and will have to stream on my PC, meaning I’ll only be able to stream at 720p low bitrate for a bit.

What to expect in the near future

Some more Twelve Minutes! I’ve really been enjoying it and I hope that this small break will clear my mind and mean I’ll actually know how to solve it lmao, so stay tuned for that!

That’s all I have to update you guys on, I’m so excited for what I have planned for the redesign and I hope I can deliver on it!

Announcement - Twitch Affiliate

The Path to Affiliate on Twitch will no longer be followed; with Twitch being a free service, the platform will not be abandoned either (YouTube is a backup if this ever changes).

Reasons being:

Twitch's inaction in response to the hate raids and to the harassment of marginalized streamers as a whole; #TwitchDoBetter.

#Subtember being announced while the #ADayofTwitch protest was being organized.

Twitch announcing its new "pay to win," stream boosting, money-grabbing system.

Twitch taking 50% of subscriptions; #SubOffTwitch.

Twitch’s contract demanding exclusively to their platform.

Streaming on Twitch costs them money; if I am not an affiliate, they cannot recoup the cost of hosting me.

In addition, #Tiptember, suggested by @CYREELism in response to #Subtember, is extending into #Tiptober, suggested by @JockyRhonson. 

If Twitch doesn’t get their act together, #Tipvember, #Tipcember, and so on will, be encouraged.

If there is interest in learning the goals and purpose of the stream, please click here. If there is interest in supporting the stream, please click here.

Thank you for reading. May every decision you make in the future be in the spirit of fairness and may the rest of your day NOT go to $#!7.

ICYMI, I’ve put together a tutorial for my fellow #contentcreators. This is a countermeasure to #hateraids happening across @Twitch, but this should adapt for other platforms. Hope this helps.

September 1st

Speaking of not streaming, in case you didn't know, a bunch of streamers plan to stay off of Twitch for the entire day on September 1st, as part of the #TwitchDoBetter movement in response to Twitch's handling of the hate raids that have been going on. I'm giving my support by also taking #ADayOffTwitch, no broadcasting or watching any streams on Twitch.

[Interview] Women/Nonbinary Individuals in Horror [RekItRaven]

We interviewed @rekitraven, the person behind the #TwitchDoBetter movement for Women/Nonbinary Individuals in Horror. We discuss the hateraids, followbotting, making Twitch Partner, and their fav horror movies!

We sat down virtually with the Raven, the person behind the #TwitchDoBetter movement. We discuss how Twitch can actually do better amidst the hate raids and follow botting, making Partner amidst the unsafe environment on the platform, the importance of community, and how important it is to be yourself no matter what and always shoot your shot (cause you never know where it might take…

Twitch Safety Tools for Smaller Streamers

Hate raids, doxxing, and follow bots are not a new thing on Twitch, but their reach and domination is increasing. More and more these things are affecting smaller streamers who never expected anything like this to happen to them. Especially now with the identity tags, marginalised folks with upwards of 10 viewers need to be on their guard and are scared to go live.

By no means do I think it should be the responsibility of the streamer to try and protect ourselves from this level of danger, especially when Twitch is owned by one of the most powerful companies in the world. However, at the moment looking after ourselves is the only option if we can't or don't want to leave the platform.

If you would like to read my thoughts on the current state of Twitch you can read them here. This post will just be going through my tips and tutorials for safety measures on Twitch without spending money or having a huge mod team.

Of course there are loads of tools out there, I'm not saying these are the ultimate ones but the ones I have found easy and useful.

Hate Raid Button

The number one thing that has helped me avoid the worst of hate raids is my hate raid button. You may have heard of the pricy hardware Stream Deck. Well there's a much cheaper way to achieve it to allow you to have useful moderation tools, change scene, and do all sorts of things at the touch of a well labelled button! I use Deckboard which is free, or £2.79 for the Pro version with more buttons. I use an old tablet to run mine, but you could use a phone or just run it on your computer.

I won't give a full tutorial of how to use it here as it is pretty self explanatory (although let me know if that is something you would want!), but I will talk you through the hate raid button I have made as it's a little more complicated.

Click an empty spot to make a new button, and name it what you want.

In the action menu select "multi actions" and press the button below "open editor".

Click "add action" then "Clear Chat" action

Click "add action" then Subscribers or Followers only.

Click "add action" then "Send Chat". In the "send" box spam an emote code 100 or more times (remember to put spaces!). This is so if any viewers have BTTV and doesn't get chat cleared, any nasty messages will be removed from their view.

If you can separate your follow alerts from your other alerts and make them two separate browser sources. Then you can click "add action" then "toggle source" and select each of your scenes that have alerts and then your follow alerts. When you press the button it will turn off your follow alerts so all the nasty usernames don't show up on your screen. If you can't separate your alerts, just select your alerts source on each scene.

Do the same if you have your chat on screen. Use "toggle source" to turn off on screen chat on any scene you have it.

Commander Root Blocklist

By now you've probably heard of Commander Root, and it's ups and downs. And while I use it and find it very useful, there are risks in using it. So I will explain it's uses and risks here.

I use Commander Root for it's blocklist manager. You can paste in lists of usernames to block, or select "block all known bot accounts" to block every bot on their list. This not only bans the accounts from your channel, but stops them from following you at all. And unlike on twitch, it can do huge lists at once rather than you having to go one by one.

You do this by pressing the green button "add new blocks" and then paste your list in the text box, or press "block known bot accounts".

I haven't had any problems with Commander Root blocklist, and I think it has really helped reduce my amount of hate raids. However, it is not recommended by Twitch and many people have had problems with it.

One problem you shouldn't ever have is losing all your followers. This is a problem with Commander Root's follower remover which I recommend staying well away from if you want to keep your legit followers.

However, Commander Root's blocklist can get you shadow banned from Twitch, meaning that you can only chat in channels where you're a mod or VIP for a while. Like I say this hasn't happened to me, but it can happen so it is your choice if you want to take that risk.

Another mild issue is, once you have used the blocklist tool once, it can take ages to load the page again. But, be patient! It will load eventually.

Twitch's offered alternative is that when you do get hate raids to clip them and report them to twitch. Twitch will then remove those accounts from the site altogether. This does work, amazingly! But I am not a fan of it as a method, as I want prevent hate raids not put a bandage on it after it happens. That said, plenty of people have had success with this method after waiting a couple days, so it is a good option if you don't want to risk the shadow ban.

Running a Mod Team

If you can, it is good to have a small mod team even if you don't have a huge audience. It means that if there is any trouble it doesn't need to throw you off what you're doing. Here are a few tips for running a mod team.

Make sure you have clear, easily accessible guidelines for your mods to follow. Mods are less likely to take action in a difficult situation if you don't explain to them what you would like them to do. By telling them something simple to follow like "we have a 3 strike system, break the rules once is a warning, twice is a time out, and three times leads to a ban" makes it so much easier for them to do their job. Explain your rules to your mods and why you have them so they can better understand how to protect your space.

Make sure your mods are people you can trust with that responsibility. If you're thinking of taking on mods you don't know so well, I recommend making an application form with questions like "why do you want to be my mod?" and "what important things do mods do?" so you know that they are there to be responsible.

Communicate with your mods. Make sure you have a group chat where they can talk about what's happening on stream and ask questions about mod procedures. If you would like them to do something differently, tell them! They're not psychic.

Treat your mods with huge respect! They are doing hard work for free and they don't owe you anything. If they can't make a stream, need a break, or just aren't feeling it for a little while you should affirm and respect that. Treat your mods to fun games nights or treats every now and again so they feel valued!

I hope you can find this useful! If you have any questions feel free to leave them in replies, or tweet at me on @PytharGames! If you would like to support my work and keep it free for everyone, you can tip or subscribe to support here.

This is Happening TODAY! Remember that big streamers will likely have a vod you can watch the next day and you can always donate or subscribe the next time they stream! also to focus on uplifting small creators and to get the hashtag trending so that it can't be ignored!

Lol twitch leftists thinking that a handful of the least-monetarily-relevant-to-Amazon streamers taking a day off streaming while none of the actual top streamers participate, aka the moneymakers aka the only people twitch cares about, is going to be effective, AND THEN BEING ON TWITCH THEMSELVES DURING THE BOYCOTT, GIVING AMAZON AD REVENUE to harass small streamers who can't afford a day off for this performative, ineffectively organized & thus ultimately useless action.... Peak example of internet leftists not understanding a single thing about labor organizing or meaningful advocacy. This is the result of the debate bro "deradicalization" culture, you just get a bunch of schmucks with no genuine understanding or investment in the ideology, running their mouths and stealing oxygen from folks trying to use their platforms for actual good (like mutual aid for Hurricane Ida victims). The sooner everyone stops kidding themselves that Twitch cares about marginalized people at all the better, because then maybe folks can Get Serious and actually organize something to hit the site where it hurts (which is wishful thinking, bc as described, the vast majority of tHe OnLiNe LeFt is mostly useless. Which I say as a Useless Too Online Leftist myself. I just had the good fortune/sense not to fall into the cancerous voosh/destiny/other "acksually white people saying the n word isn't always bad" debate clown vortex, which is too low a bar to congratulate myself over.)

Thank you @DevinNash for this video.

I decided not to become an affiliate on Twitch BEFORE I saw this because of #TwitchDoBetter. I didn’t want them to be able to make money off of me. I am also a big supporter of #SubOffTwitch.

If you become a Twitch affiliate, you must stream EXCLUSIVELY to Twitch.  Twitch makes more money off of you than you do streaming on Twitch, which is why they lock you in. The power of multi-streaming cannot be overstated.

Much more information is available in the video and I highly recommend it.

Thank you all for reading; may every decision you make in the future be in the spirit of fairness and you have a nice rest of your day.
