MODERATORS
Don't give them any ideas
Hell yeah it's sensitive I start swooning and feel hot inside whenever I see cute boys. Thanks you twitch for helping me combat my femboy addiction.
Is there anywhere left on the internet that's uncensored? I miss the golden age.
Yep, but most of them get filled with people who can't shut the fuck up about politics or conspiracy theories.
And blatant hatred.
And pedophiles
and gore
Well, Rumble, Kick, and 4chan still exist. They are much more hands off for moderation. But I wouldn't recommend them as nice places to explore. Moderation has its benefits too.
Compared to Twitch, Youtube is less involved in censoring based on message but much more reactive for DMCA stuff and demonetization.
And other people have pointed out that Lemmy and the fediverse in general have moderation that is entirely dependent on your instance.

As someone who has watched less than an hour of anything on twitch, I guess I'm going to change my avoidance of the site from passive to active.
Yeah, I'm switching my Twitch viewing from Twitch.com w/ my ad-blocker active, to the Grayjay app, which also blocks ads. And I don't even watch ads, only VODs from one streamer, and only a couple times/month.
I was going to do that anyway, but I'll do it with a bit more feeling. And for pride month, I'll completely avoid the site.
And for my part, I will continue to have never used it.
And one fine morning, the other sites you visit regularly will apply a policy that has become the norm elsewhere.
Currently the top of the suggestions forum. By a lot.
Big rainbow capitalism in June, but worried about "Brands align their ads with content that reflects their brand values." dollars the rest of the year.
Sorry my existence does not align with brand values. That must be really rough for you Twitch.

The two genders, white cishet male and political.
I explained the concept of there being the two genders of "cis-male" and "political" to one of my professors at a religious university and he was actually interested to hear me out on it because he had never thought of it in that paradigm. I'm absolutely not saying that everyone can be convinced, but some people can be nudged in the right direction if you have a good rapport with them.

I looked at the rules and it says:
Labeling not required:
Streams containing informational or educational content that aim to share knowledge in a neutral, fact-based manner, rather than engaging in any kind of advocacy for an issue or candidate. For example, sharing the history of how votes in the US presidential election are counted to determine the next President, or merely encouraging individuals to vote or register to vote.
So saying for example Trump is a homophobic fascist should be allowed
As the op points put, it's going to be used as a reporting harassment. If it requires human intervention to decide, they might have bots or automatic actions based on number of reports.
Just because it's true doesn't mean it's not advocacy.
Propagandizing and "sharing knowledge in a neutral, fact-based manner" aren't mutually exclusive. The atomic unit of propaganda isn't lies, it's emphasis.

Bezos going all-in on the fascists
you're telling me the website currently going through antisemitism allegations is not a very good website?
What an odd thing to happen.
TBF, that's not a very good litmus test since anyone protesting the Palestinian genocide has been accused of the same, which we all know is utter bullshit.
Didn't you know, criticism of the Israeli government is tantamount to advocating for a genocide of Jewish people. It's binary, no way anyone can have an opinion that exists between a spectrum of the two. I mean someone criticizing a government and not it's people is just absurd.
(/S, incase anyone doubts my sarcasm)
Tribalism is fucking exhausting.
Fair, but it looks bad when they seem to be promoting a side and silencing another as a platform. They disabled email signups for accounts from Israel for over a year. Yes, this also affected Palestinians, but it was in reaction to Oct. 7, an event that Israeli users would certainly want to bring attention to for fostering sympathy. The stated reason was to prevent graphic material from being posted, but this hadn't been implemented for Ukraine or other wartorn areas.
They also endorse streamers that are very overtly pro-palestine. Some of them did an "Arab" to "Loves Sabra" tier list of other people on stage at Twitchcon. Twitch later deleted the vod/clips of it.
