Promoting it with...a Twitch stream.

    You have to meet your audience where they are at. Twitch makes a lot of sense and has a lot of reach.

    You can reach your audience from a variety of channels. At least one of them should be free. This should be seeringly obvious to an org like EFF.

    Well that website links to livestream.eff.org, and that page says the stream will be "simulcast", i.e. mirrored, to Twitch and Youtube. So the main channel is indeed free.

    A doctor must go where the sick people are.

    A doctor cannot be in several places at once. That's where your analogy falls apart.

    It's not an analogy, it's a philosophy.

    Maybe your point isn't the only one trying to be made.

    Would you like to share with the class what point you're trying to make?

    E: this person still has not answered.

    You cannot advertise the fediverse to people already on the fediverse. They are already using it.

    You need to advertise to people who are on things like twitch, Facebook, X etc.

    This stream is not for you, thus it is twitch specific.

    So people on the Fediverse shouldn't be allowed to participate?

    Not everything caters to you, I'm sorry that's a hard concept for you to stomach.

    This has nothing to do with me, and you know it doesn't, you're just being a dick.

    It's only you playing up having an allergic reaction to using twitch wrapping it in wont someone care about us fediverse users too?

    If I'm being a dick then you're concern trolling 🙂

    May I ask that you start?

    Can you explain to me why promoting the Feddiverse on Twitch is bad?

    Promoting the Feddiverse on the Feediverse just seem like preaching to the choir.

    May I ask that you start?

    No, you said someone else's point was trying to be made and now you're deflecting. I asked you first. You answer mine and then we can move on to yours.

    What?

    When did I do that?

    Please read the usernames in the thread before trying to do callouts.

    This is a public forum, if you want to talk private, use a private medium

    I wasn't talking privately. I just wasn't talking to you. I was asking a specific person about what they said, which is not something you can answer, which you didn't even try to do.

    No, you were replying to two other people in the thread before I commented, pay attention to the usernames remember.

    This all started because you implied that Twitch was a bad platform for promoting the Feddiverse without giving a reason.

    So, yeah, what is your reason for not thinking Twitch is a good platform to use to promote the Feddiverse?

    I'd say it holds up even more. All sick people go to hospitals and that's where we employs doctors. EFF's target audience^[1]^ are using Twitch so they go there.

    1: I assume, since why would they use Twitch otherwise?

    All sick people go to hospitals

    Yes, once again, that's why this analogy does not make sense. The EFF is not running a hospital, they're running a livestream, which can happen in any of a dozen different places simultaneously.
