Comment on Are any gaming streaming platforms besides TTV, YT (& FB(?)) viable?

Since you‘re on the fediverse already, consider peertube. It still needs work in discoverability but from a data ownership perspective its pretty top notch.

I seek a big userbase, not fedi-like alternative. I want to freely find nerds to nerd with.

Yeah, thats what we call a trade off. The large userbases are on the bad platforms and the good platforms have small userbases.
Until people start at least mirror their stuff on (eg) peertube, we wont see increase in userbase.
For that reason, if I planned to interact with a large audience, I would go to twitch, no two ways about it, but mirror on peertube so it gets a chance to grow.
There is no free lunch. We have to put in work if we want to see positive change.

Interesting thing to try to make something else more popular is to start on twitch, mirror somewhere else, than declare you move there and mirror TO twitch from there. So that you don’t lose twitch audience but also make some of them want to visit the other site because the main stream is there.
