@BTFree your message says "move to Twitch". You should probably edit if you don't want people getting the wrong idea about your intentions.
@siv@mastodon.praxis.red editted. Good suggestion. TY.

I meant FROM Twitch. What tools do people use on Twitch that don't exist in the Fediverse?
@BTFree Twitch *is* Big Tech. Why would I want to help migrate people to it?!
@siv@mastodon.praxis.red I meant FROM Twitch. What tools do people use on Twitch that don't exist in the Fediverse?
There are amazing developers creating the platforms today to allow others to join the open social web tomorrow.
A lot of these platforms though have tools built around them that everyday folks rely on. Streamelements, nightbot, etc.
What are some tools/features/expectations YOU have from standard big tech that doesn't exist today?
Calling on all free and open source developers.
We need recommendations for current platforms that exist to support Owncast streamers via bots, tips, etc that can help people convert from Big Tech platforms and easily move away from platforms such as Twitch.
I'm guessing they don't exist ATM, but I'm willing to start a platform if folks know tools we can use. Such as easily running bot commands in chat.
I know Le Fractal as emojiwall.
What else exists?
What features would YOU need to make your conversion to Owncast or Peertube easier?

On the other side, a bit lower in the frame we see a fediverse logo, but on fire. This is the logo of the Fireside Fedi show. In between those two elements a text is written.

EU is calling for comments on open source strategies. MAKE YOURSELF HEARD!
Even non-EU citizens have a voice here.
NOW is a time to stand up and stand out! YOU want to help the Fediverse? Here's just one way today that YOU can REALLY make a difference:
The European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy will set out:
- a strategic approach to the open source sector in the EU that addresses the importance of open source as a crucial contribution to EU technological sovereignty, security and competitiveness
- a strategic and operational framework to strengthen the use, development and reuse of open digital assets within the Commission, building on the results achieved under the 2020-2023 Commission Open Source Software Strategy.
