![]() ![]() Like any attempt to push for social change and accountability, there are some rifts on how to best approach the issue. I appreciate any support, thank you! /HpOps1qKAj All I want for my bday is help w my medical care. I’ll be on Mon & Tues at 7pm EST instead. My birthday is on Weds Sept 1st, but I won’t be streaming for #ADayOffTwitch. Shout out to and for helping me with this! #ADayOffTwitch This blackout encourages streamers and viewers alike to not stream, watch streams, or log into chats. Creator of the #TwitchDoBetter tag RekItRaven decided to organize with streamers LuciaEverblack and ShineyPen, and call for a blackout on Twitch on September 1, 2021. These so-called fixes, haven’t resulted in a better experience for those dealing with the hate raids. However, as we work on solutions, bad actors work in parallel to find ways around them-which is why we can’t always share details. We’ve been building channel-level ban evasion detection and account improvements to combat this malicious behavior for months. ![]() Twitch said they rolled out an update to fix the filters and better detect hate speech in chat. The feature was put in place to help people find community but, like everything good on the internet, quickly became exploited by trolls. Streamers believe that the harassment got worse after Twitch ramped up the “tag” feature this past spring. Twitch’s response so far has been addressing the concerns by saying they will do better and a few site tweaks.

So I took all the precautions, used all the “tools” twitch provides us. Over a week later and this is still going on. The hashtag worked in getting a response from Twitch, if nothing else. The more private means of communication and support to Twitch was leading to nothing. In an effort to get attention from Twitch, streamers and viewers shared examples of this harassment under the tag #TwitchDoBetter. Black streamers, in particular, have shared the most alarming examples of this attack. The hate raids consist of racist language, and often, the usernames themselves are hateful words and phrases just mundane enough (or slightly adjusted common words) to make it past Twitch’s hate speech detection. Instead of the usual joy that comes with a one streamer sending all of their viewers to another stream at the end of a session, these raids are made up accounts sent to harass the unsuspecting content creator with a barrage of slurs and disgusting language.
