I'm excited about streaming in the future, showing off my VR presentation while mainly broadcasting art, but I've been doing my tests on Picarto (as a way to insure against bad-faith chatters/raiders) and not on my Twitch account (which reached Affiliate status last year)

I decided all that on my own, though, and at the moment I'm not sure if it was the right call. I'm queer and wacky but there's plenty of folks like that on Twitch, I'd be in good company

So I think I'll give Twitch another shot soon, again, mainly for art! And to that end, I think I'll start by making my channel's chat verified-accounts-only. Mod applications are open for folks I've spoken with, I'd be excited to talk more about this

@Lobst we're not a big fan of the verified accounts only thing, it requires you to give them your phone number and we don't want to

@Lobst (though of course use it if you want! i just want to have it out there that it does prevent some people from viewing who might want to)

@Felthry Makes sense! I would like to have some layer of protection against anyone who'd show up to fuck with me, though

@Felthry Ah, good news; as I currently have it, the phone number's only a requirement for accounts that are less than 7 days old, so it's not a hard-and-fast requirement. If I somehow require more restrictions I'll be keeping this concern in mind
