A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

I'm out of the loop on Twitch. Not a big user of it, other than watching a friend occasionally. What's going on there?

Some advertising restrictions that would've been a nightmare for many streams that bake ads into their video, eg events like agdq as well, not just individuals.

But did twitch not back down, or have I been bamboozled by lip service again?

Saw this video in another thread. Not sure if it represents the situation accurately though because I haven't been following it either.

Thanks for sharing. My bestie is a small streamer on Twitch, so I try to keep up at least a little.
