How absurd.

Kick is a platform. It isn't kiwifarms, it isn't 8ch. Further, I think it would be more defensible to lock out Kick (not defensible, but more defensible) if twitch had any other real competition in the live streaming space.

An open source project locking out platforms for allowing freer speech than twitch is shameful. It's embarrassing.

I agree there should be a consideration of where OBS funding comes from, and if I were Kick I'd support a maintainer of an OBS fork.

Just an aside, 8ch was a platform, the whole idea of the site was that anyone could create their own imageboard, similar to subreddits on reddit.

It's closer to 8ch I think. There is the blatant advertised gambling due to being stake owned and then their non-existent moderation of hate speech that has allowed streamers who want to be incredible edgy like Adin Ross to thrive.
