@deadlybossmods @discord_support @discord I should have said that I wrote something up with "BotGhost" since I'm not a coder and knew that I needed something specifically to work during onboarding. I hope that what you have coded works out for you. It definitely sucks and I wish Discord had better moderation for it.

@notCoital @_Reloe Short* lol

[Lazypupper 🐾 @Lazy_Pupper]

@notCoital @_Reloe Lol I also still work on it and it looks me when they reply back to me email with an AI response. I'm like, "I asked you to clarify what was going on (or share a shirt video)... Why do you need chat gpt to answer that for you?"

@Upintheair380 @Corbienest People let their passports expire when they're not going to travel anymore

@metroadlib I think I read 22 books last year and I was like super proud of myself. Then when people were like "I'm reading 30+ books" I was like...wtf I'm a slow reader I guess. Nope. This makes so much more sense lol.

@TheoryPhd @p_ribon_p I was thinking it was a box of xerox paper, but I think I'm getting to the age where there are things that other people just don't know existed anymore

@torch327 @streamlabs Labels should be working now for kick off you try it out

[Lazypupper 🐾 @Lazy_Pupper]

@mc13_amped @ToonRami You can use streamlabs alerts on obs. They even have a plugin for obs

@melfinadarling No problem!

@PaullyTVvet @dancewosleeping @luxemiaa A side of fries typically has more fries than when fries come with an entree. So no, he shouldn't have cancelled her side without asking the waiter the portion size, if it was smaller if that was ok with her, and then providing the entire side of fries.

@echosmagpie @MontyNooo Side note: I personally like your naming conventions here and support it lol

@echosmagpie @MontyNooo I think the biggest differences here is that in Pennsylvania (now known as "better Texas") has probably as many counties than the UK. Our states are bigger than countries. But Americans are just as bad, they probably couldn't figure out Western Europe to save their lives.

Emphasizing this. While SE failed to explore a paid sub model, it is true creators are notoriously stingy when paying for critical tooling.

No problem overpaying for unnecessary hardware though

[Crowd Control @CrowdControl]

once the panic settles there needs to be a bigger conversation around sustainability and service dependency in streaming.

a lot of creators built major parts of their workflow around free or subsidized services without really asking how those services stay alive long term.

RE: StreamElements

To get everyone on the same page, here's a breakdown on what's happening, because rumors always travel further and faster in a vacuum.

Earlier today, there was an initial rumor that StreamElements was laying off all staff and shutting down. I heard this secondhand from a trusted source, but, like any rumor, it was not confirmed; it was merely a starting point. (I personally require at least two independent sources to confirm a story, as individuals can make mistakes or misinterpret the facts, especially if there's a reason that might make it personal.)

Since then, this single source has repeated this story to everyone in his StreamElements Sponsorship Discord (not the official one), and as such, it has been shared as a rumor widely across streamer Twitter. Yes, he does work for StreamElements as a Creator Success Manager. So, he does have credibility. At the same time, I have attempted to get secondary confirmation from anyone at StreamElements - but have been unable to. Every person I have spoken to about this (creators, former SE staff, media people) has the same source... the person mentioned above.

Now that said, let's talk contributing factors:
1. StreamElements continues to be silent on the matter.
2. They have been slow to pay users in recent weeks.
3. They seem to have been removed from Twitch's Third Party sponsorship offers.
4. They have been soliciting donations to keep the service free.
5. They have had numerous layoffs over the last few years, and more have left of their own volition in the last few months.

On the other hand, it's unusual to simply shut down a service with hundreds of thousands of users without first becoming a paid service. Or maybe just shutting down part of the service and focusing wholly on the sponsorship side. Either way, it's unusual.

This entire thing is unusual. And while the rumors may end up being true, I don't feel confident saying that yet. As I said, my standard is at least two independent confirmations - more is better. I always prefer being right to being first.

That said, given the situation as presented, it may still be worthwhile to ensure any SEPay money is requested, and you may want to download your alerts (or move to an alternative, such as Streamlabs. Disclosure: I have a partnership with them - but an easy link to do so is attached below.)

If I learn more before StreamElements addresses it publicly themselves, I will share whatever facts I can confirm.

@burningschool @HannahDCox Because it was discrimination. Women weren't allowed to do so many things. And right now, there is nothing outside of the relationship that prevents a man from being a stay at home husband. There were actively LAWS that didn't allow women to get education.

Get @discord the ghosted "NAME was here" is so distracting. No one asked for this feature. I moderate 100k+ member servers and everyone hates it. Please just get rid of it.
