It was weird having a dude come in at the end of the stream who was clearly such a misplaced 4chan dudebro - we're not used to having to do much in the way of moderation but it's definitely something to think about for the future

@angrboda the nice thing is that because I don't depend on my porn income and most of my streams are for fun I can use my platform to create a safe space for progressive fetish discourse instead of having to do capitalist hand wringing about it

I just need to get over the anxiety of being confrontational on the spot and make decisive moderation decisions.

@angrboda Oh ick, and everybody was having such a good time before. :/

@Soreth we ended it without it being a huge deal (we'd streamed too long anyway) but in future I'd like to handle that stuff more decisively

@angrboda I'm glad it wasn't much of a bummer, at least!

@angrboda saaame. Next time I'll definitely be less "eh, let's ignore this and hope it goes away/it's not as bad as I fear", as that is a shitty path for the moderator

@angrboda It seemed like people were mostly doing a good job of just not engaging, which is a good reponse.
