I am looking for anarchist streamers to talk/interact with. Sadly most I know are shit and do stuff like use ableist language all the time, I was hoping to find some here.

Any of yall know of any good ones or are one yourself?

Oh, maybe, however, a lot of them are the streamers and probably some viewers are disabled themselves. The streamers just don't want to drive potential viewers away before getting to know them because of the whole way they have to present themselves in order to get money I think. Also because they think changing people through kindness and getting them to stay is better, which I can't always disagree with.

Whispers on accounts old and new are now blocked without a phone number, there is no way around this. There is no setting for it that anyone can change. I have had an account for several years with very few problems and now I am blocked from whispering anyone as I refuse to hand over a phone number.

You can if you'd like, but I know twitch is going to get worse before or if it ever gets better, so personally I'm extracting everything I care about from it (mostly my clips) and then deleting my account. My life has been better since I stopped watching streamers too, I have more time and energy and don't have to worry about as many things.

honestly with project 2025 stuff, everything is going to get worse before it gets better. I'm not even sure if planning beyond that is worth it, so twitch going downhill slowly doesn't bother me as much, especially since my main group of people is elsewhere.

and I have met a lot of disabled people who are ableist sadly, internalized and otherwise. But yeah, I guess my goal is to make a community for oppressed people, not the oppressors, so I guess they have some reason to allow it in their cases. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush though, if they think keeping the people they have there is less important than pandering to new ones I doubt they will get far.
