How do you forget to turn sign ups back on?...

this is fairly standard in an operation that cuts a lot of staffing

Yeah... a lot of institutional knowledge is being lost, forgotten etc.

That last paragraph is a problem though. That should have been left out and made in its own announcement. Because it makes it seem like an afterthought and that nothing will be done.

It's definitely a statement. Especially since an email address has no location information...

so this is insane right? like they blocked millions of people from making accounts just because they assumed they would only do it to post gore?

What a privilege to own a phone with signal in a war torn country while also facing a systematic genocide. Twitch is once again taking a massive L for this. May Palestine be free in our lifetime 🇵🇸🇵🇸
