My pancreas attracts every other pancreas in the universe with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them.
This is a baby step, not a step backwards. Nobody who's discussing their life & experience as a minority in good faith is getting censored. This is specifically targeting vitriol and politics.
Sincerely, a Jew who wishes Twitch would just drop Hasan, but this is a start.
We have made some updates to our policy language to better clarify what needs a "Politics and Sensitive Social Issues" Content Classification Label (CCL).
We want to make clear that you donโt need to label your stream if youโre talking about your lived experience. Weโve made this clearer in our CCL guidelines, which are linked below. Weโve also clarified that a label is only required if discussion of the listed topics is the focus of the stream.
Our goal here, as with any CCL, is to give viewers and brands more info about whatโs happening on a particular stream, so that they can make an informed decision about what to watch and where to engage.

@lomadia So, did you actually read the Content Classification guidelines? Because I would love to know which specific parts you think will be used to punch down on LGBTQ communities, when it's so clearly aimed at political advocacy and vitriolic speech.
@lomadia Dude. Calm down. This is aimed at people who literally spend all day on Twitch ranting and raving about politics. (Response to the Hasan drama.) Re. Lax. You aren't being silenced. Nor is book club. Unless they're going on anti-Semitic rants and glazing terrorists.
@NonTrotski This time they're looking East instead of South: at MSG, Rudy said Palestinians learn to kill Americans at 2 yrs old, and yeah there's probably some good Palestinians, but Kamala's gonna bring them to YOU.
@AllyMalinenko@JoshuaAndrews72 Interested to know what you think about this discussion @JimTheLibrarian, since Ally here is gatekeeping the conversation to LIBRARIANS ONLY.
What I see here is a tweet about a *private* fantasy-library, and a very miserable public librarian who doesn't see patrons as people.
@AllyMalinenko You realize this *nightclub vs library* comparison conjures the image of a PRIVATE establishment, right? A place that you can go for free, enjoy the atmosphere, and purchase refreshments. Reading is hard though, I get it. Context is important!
Two words: private library.
Nightclub - $
Fantasy library - $
NOWHERE DOES IT SAY FREE OR PUBLIC.
This tweet caught my eye because it's a "librarian" who is gatekeeping the concept of libraries, not to mention the ability to have opinions about them. Miserable humans. ๐คง
@AllyMalinenko@SarahJDaley That's ridiculous. Only trashy libraries tolerate this. Maybe yours does. ;)
This tweet & all of your replies are negative & gatekeepy. ๐คข๐คฎ dO yOu wOrK At A LIbrArY? As if patrons are all NPCs. The quote is sounds like teen dreaming. Let 'em dream.
Alright. Confession time.
I iced @therealcliffyb on Thurs. ๐ญ
Stood to my right and tried to make friendly convo, but he caught me RIGHT after I'd shut down a creepy guy, so my walls were UP UP UP.
Anyhow CliffyB, MY BAD. ๐ You and @BlitzBladeVX rocked it at Whiskey Girl! ๐โโ๏ธ
Now THIS was surreal.
There were people waiting in line for my crochet session "Dare to Granny Square: Crochet 101." EVERY seat was filled!!
Thanks to everyone who came, and especially those who found me afterwards to tell me they enjoyed. ๐โโ๏ธ
THANK YOU @Twitch FOR HAVING ME!
