Official replacement for Reddit's r/GamerGhazi

Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!

Community rules:

Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules

No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.

No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.

No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.

No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.

Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.

NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.

Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

Twitch making rules which mess with streamers and/or viewers? [sarcasm] We are shocked! [/sarcasm]

Seriously Twitch ioo is not a service worth bothering with any more.

They took away all the fun features, locked people out of communicating (whispering) without a phone number (which they shouldn't be trusted with), which then ruined the ability for privacy conscious mods to communicate with viewers and instead of reversing the change made a workaround.

There is also no direct way for mods to get paid which is appalling.

They have been tightening the belt, so to speak on 'family friendliness' i.e. slut shaming and it always feels like you're on the tip of the spear with them. Worse 'business' we ever interacted with.

They still haven't put pronouns into the actual platform, they have become ever worse with adverts and they don't give a shit about the many fascists on their site using it to spread hate.

We really need an alternative that cares and doesn't have all these ridiculous restrictions nor makes changes without asking what both streamers and viewers need, or at least listens to them instead of ignoring them.
