Anything else has been a failure, (((not economically viable))). This is not an advertisement, no service is ready yet. But I am willing to put up the funds for a live-streaming service that actually respects the freedom of speech & expression human rights.
It's in the process of being programmed. Zig Forums come up with a name. Don't meme it up too much, the service will not be left or right wing. It will not remove either, otherwise it actively takes a moral stance in what's acceptable. There's only 1 rule: no exploitation of minors.
Anything else is fair game - unless it is illegal in our/your jurisdiction, then it will be removed upon notification.
Features: - Anonymous comments - User registration is optional (except for streamers) - Stream ANYTHING (except pedophilia, child exploitation and objectively morally questionable stuff) - Donations (cuts should be minimal, only enough to keep service alive, not 30% like YouTube or 50% like Twitch) - TTS, Just a list, Just a list (with donations disappearing after you’ve acknowledged them/read them out loud) - Subscriptions (sponsors) - Choose your own amount (Patreon replacement, finally!) - Per-channel emojis, as many as you wish - Archive streams for up to 24 hours for free.
Philosophies: Centrist, left-wing, right-wing, are all allowed and treated equal. “Hate speech” is NOT against the terms of service and is NOT recognized as a complaint, as this blurs the line between freedom of expression and authoritarian control.
Red flag for any free speech absolutist. Its "illegal" to deny the holocaust in some jurisdictions. Its morally questionable allowing loli streams. You see the slippery slope you put us on, right? Free speech is free speech, whether morally questionable or made illegal because someone government wants to play mommy. Stick to your guns and only lay your sheckles down for a true free speech system, or have hard defined rules (I have a feeling you'll come up with a lot of rules, and find out you really dont like free speech). Until then, use p2p and decentralised services because the only reason to have those rules is to fit in the normy box, where you can be forcfully molded and manipulated into being not economocally viable.

LOL. I've followed a streamer both on dlive and stream.me, both said THEY WERE FREE SPEECH (spoiler:they weren't)
After some time went on and some drama between users and the obviously rigged contest between brazillians spamming each other with points and being told he can't shittalk a tranny who is shittalking him, they decided to temp ban him (this streamer was the top streamer on that site). Dlive is just a joke.
The moment you have rules (except no actual cp) the administrators and mods will choose who and who not to ban and enforce rules for certain people and not for others; it gets slippery real quick (look at this place). Clique faggots will always appear, the main cause of D/C and abuse, if theres any rules they should be aimed at prevent cliques and be about excluding any person as THE face of the platform and ensuring the integrity of the freedom of speech so claimed by the site.
The moment you have this rule, you need moderators (paid or unpaid), which will inevitably lead to drama and cancer. The moment you suspend this rule, you will become flooded with CP, and shut down. The obvious area in the middle is self-hosted streams, but our internet infrastructure is conveniently (((asymmetric))), which doesn't really allow that. Now if there were some kind of protocol which allowed multiple users to pool their upload capacities in order to restream content they were fans of a la bittorrent for streams, that would be something of a game changer, but considering the fact that bittorrent's been out for decades and hasn't even managed to put out a website seed hosting package yet, I wouldn't hold my breath for something like that to appear.

Interesting that you think this world should be fair. How things should be and how things are, are two different things. But whatever right? Everyone deserves to be heard and to have the ability to tell the world their feelings and opinions on things, right? Wrong. One of the things to concentrate on is learning how the fuck to GET OFF EARTH when your time comes. Build up enough velocity and momentum to blast your ass outta here. Velocity and momentum comes from learning how to escape. Lest you return wanting to talk about your feelings again. But whatever, right? My feelies!
