I've been away far, FAR too long. This whole VTubing thing started with hopes to stream 2077. I'm a happy sp00der tonight because:
1. I'm back..!
2. ...starting with Cyberpunk 2077!

Text on Twitch's website saying "Verify Your Identity" "Submit proof of identity and location to receive your payout" "In order to receive your payout, you need to verify your identity through Persona, Twitch's identity verification service. You will have 3 tries. Please be ready to provide both of the following: 1. A picture of your government-issued identification card, such as an identity card, passport or driver's license. 2. A "selfie" (i.e., a picture of your face), taken using a webcam or phone camera. By clicking "Start Verification" below, you understand that you will be leaving Twitch and will be redirected to Persona's service, and further understand and acknowledge that Twitch may send Persona limited personal information about you to facilitate the identity verification process, in accordance with Twitch's Privacy Notice. Information you provide to Persona will not be used for any purposes other than to verify your identity and will not be stored for longer than necessary to fulfill this purpose. Need Help? See our detailed onboarding guide." "Start Verification"
Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

Just saw a pretty decent little video about Fluxer. I'm honestly excited for this app, where it's going, and how the developer is responding to the Discord shenanigans.
Still bunches and bunches of scuff that needs ironing out, especially with getting my mouth tracking to work properly, but we are back!
Thursday's stream was fun, kinda chill. Hoping to do something more substantial tonight! :D
That is SO unbelievably cute!!
Oh. Oh, I feel that one!
Heck yeah! <3
It's REALLY impressive, both from a creator and from a tech perspective. If you get a chance, take a look at the 2026 Roadmap post on his blog:

built to be fully decentralized, encrypted, and to give creators like us even more ways to monetize and structure the experience with our communities in our self-hosted options.
In the last 48 hours or so, I've absolutely become a Fluxer disciple. The dev's ethics are sterling. The actual experience of using the app, even in this early beta stage is absolutely fantastic. He's active with the community constantly, is very receptive to input, and the platform itself is being

This post is really what sold me, led to talking with him, and joining the community, particularly the part where he addresses the Discord situation directly.

Not that I've seen; a bunch of us were discussing that in the newbie server on Tuesday. The dev himself is widely available and super communicative. Everything is open-source, and I've gotten to speak with him at length. Obviously I don't know him well or anything, but he strikes me as very ethical.
Aaaah! I didn't even know stuff like this existed. How incredibly cool, and immensely useful!
an infinite money glitch, selling corporate-collected data to FBI, ICE, and their ilk, and all these companies with big access to big data want to jump on that market while it's available.
where predators hunt in the first place, and then there's the whole "IPO in a few weeks" thing, which feels a lot like they want a big pile of data to show off to investors and gov't so they can say, "we know who is where and what they're saying," since places like Flock and Palantir basically have
What's got me most disappointed about Discord is that they already tested this and promptly lost everyone's ID info to hackers. I think it was right at one week into the test? There's zero reason to trust that they're doing any better now. Worse is that they're creating kid-centric spaces, which is
sort of like how Bluesky is, and when it's done, it will offer all kinds of great features, like in-app monetization, end to end encryption, the ability to create your own looks, feel, sound, everything. It's in open beta now at Fluxer.app

I just finished copying my server over to Fluxer. It has the same look and feel of Discord, will allow you to host your own server, which allows you to do stuff like "everyone gets plutonium" or "Everyone's name is Gary," or literally anything you want. It's being built a day a decentralized system

Let it collapse.
Bitsy's profile card from Fluxer. Looks very, very similar to the mini-profile from Discord. Notes Bitsy's user ID on that platform as ItsyBitsyAraneidae#8888
Y'all... If you're worried about this Discord thing that's going down? Take a look at @fluxer.app. It's kinda completely freaking awesome. It has very much the same look/feel/function as Discord, but it's decentralized like Bluesky. Feel welcome to friend me over there; I'm ItsyBitsyAraneidae#8888
I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Whale evolution makes me uncomfortable
That's such a tough one. In school it's easy but mostly just because we're forced into common tranches & we're held in proximity. Getting out here, adulting, and then making friends? It's rough when everyone's got their own stuff going on. Effort, scheduling, fun experiences seem to help.

I'm here. It's been a really tough time, this being the time of year that's got all the Bad Anniversaries® packed together. Missed my streamiversary. Got nothing planned for my birthday. I'm just doing the best that I can get back to hitting "Go Live."
I'm trying. all. <3
Happy fall 🍂
