Pick A Card Reading : Guidance From Spirit

words of wisdom from the universe to help you on your beautiful journey

Pile 1

(The Emperor + 3 Of Pentacles)

dear pile 1,

these two cards speak of a contradiction that shows up in our life again and again

you're a great leader

you have the drive, the vision and the strategic thinking to build your own empire

you may also have been conditioned by your parents or surroundings that doing things alone is for the best

you lean onto your masculine side, trusting that it will guide you out of the hole that was dug for you (sometimes by your own self)

the 3 of pentacles faintly whispers that it's time to get ready for someone or a team of people who will let you relax a bit

you don't have to be always the one who saves others from their mistakes

it's time for you to welcome an energy that will show you that the greatest teachers are eternal students

up until now maybe you were the smartest in the room

because you're a person focused on growth and expansion you didn't like that

now, you'll meet your match and mentor

learn to listen, you can learn unexpected things from unexpected people and also, when you let people talk their true colours come out

listen.

Pile 2

(Ace Of Swords + 2 Of Pentacles)

dear seeker,

an a-ha moment is coming towards you full speed

you've weighted your options for a very long time

what are my goals and dreams ?

what are my aspirations

in a way this reminds me of the 7 of cups energy

you will finally realize that you don't have as many options as you think, because what you don't like it's not an option

let me explain...

maybe you're thinking about choosing a new career path

should I be a doctor or a lawyer?

a mechanic ? a business person ?

a café owner or a laundromat one ? etc.

in reality not everything will fit for you and that's okay

in the end you'll go after what lights up your spirit

you will choose the path that aligns with the vision you have for your life

not choosing, is a choice all on itself

choose.

Pile 3

(7 Of Swords + The Hierophant + 8 Of Cups)

dear creator,

it's time for you to create from your own voice and sacred womb

old paradigms need to be destroyed and you need to be true to yourself

find the guidance within and don't look for gurus on the outside

grab a tarot deck and let the cards speak to you

walk away from what does not fit anymore

don't fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy

burning the past and letting go of what doesn't serve you is necessary for your future

don't be afraid to build from the ashes, to be reborn like the phoenix

burn + be reborn.

I recently had to deal with some horrible people invading my stream with them saying some not so nice things to me and about others.

I’m still fresh and new to streaming and don’t have mods. How am I supposed to combat this?

buckle up

if you're a streamer reading this, and you have a tip that i haven't mentioned here, please feel free to reblog and add on~

how to deal with assholes

part 1: you are the dad of this rodeo

never forget the most important part of streaming. you are in control. you turn the stream on, you turn it off. you have all the power.

with that out of the way, let's talk about chat moderation.

part 2: a viewer is never more valuable then your time

when new streamers encounter people who are kinda mean, they sometimes feel like they have to put up with it because no one else is watching. this is incorrect.

you do not have to put up with anything - this is your stream and this is your community (even if that community is just you for now). tell mean people to be cool or move on. that is always your right.

part 3: ban them

if someone comes into your stream and makes you and your community uncomfortable, ban them. ask questions, think deeply, feel feelings about it later.

when you ban them, their messages for the last while will go away. they can appeal later and cry about it on their own time. if you ban by mistake, simply unban them and apologize. nice people who enjoy your stream will understand. rude people who don't care about you will be a problem about it. you don't want people in category 2 in your stream anyway.

part 4: what you react to is what you get

the bigger your reaction to something, the more of it you will receive. twitch is all about reactions (just ask xQc).

therefore if people are being mean, they are doing it to see you react. they want evidence that the bullying is working. therefore...

do not let them see you sad

do not let them see you mad

do not let them see you cry

do not argue

do not negotiate

the best reaction you can have to a group of rowdy bullies is the stone-faced enforcement of your power.

part 5: what to do, step by step

in the event that your stream is overtaken by a whole group of assholes (maybe just some bullies, maybe a hate raid), i encourage you to take the following steps:

stop, take a deep breath. all problems are solvable, and all disasters recoverable. do not let panic take over

go on break and mute your mic. don't give them the satisfaction of seeing you upset (the more overwhelming the attack, the more abrupt your break should be - don't bother explaining why you're leaving. if you have time to say anything at all, say that you'll be back in a moment and nothing else)

put chat in emote only mode

put chat is sub only mode

if you can, run some ads (if they're gonna be assholes, you might as well get paid)

if there are an actionable number of people causing the problem (read less than 30 or so), ban them by hand now. you can do more advanced clean up later if you need to. if it's too many to ban, you've gotta end the stream.

once the folks have been cleared out, get back on stream, apologize to your real viewers for the interruption, restore chat and continue on your way. don't bother giving air time to assholes. when it's over, it's over.

if you are too upset to continue stream, don't.

if you use a stream bot, stream deck, or alternative (touch portal, deckboard, etc), you can set many of these actions to a button that you can press to automatically go into SOS mode. i strongly recommend this.

part 6: aftermath

your community will move on as soon as you do. take a moment to calm down, decompress, and remember that those people don't know you and their opinion means nothing. don't let the community dwell on it - that is what they want, for you to be sad for as long as possible.

if you've got a whole ton of bots clogging up your followers, use commander roots tools to clear them out:

Twitch tools by @CommanderRoot

Twitch Tools by @CommanderRoot

Multiple tools to make your life on Twitch easier

part 7: prevention

prevent known bots and assholes from crawling into your stream by using commander roots tools (to pre-ban folks) and sery_bot:

Sery_Bot, by SeryCodes

Sery_Bot, by SeryCodes

Sery_Bot is a Twitch moderation bot providing anti-hate raid and anti-follow bot protections, and other safety features and tools to streame

part 8: other security measures

never stream live from a public (as is people you don't bring in can appear) discord channel. if you are live, make sure you have total control over what appears on stream

never click links without checking them off-live first. what your friend thinks is harmless fun might be ban-able by twitch TOS

avoid streaming your entire desktop

people are not entitled to everything they want right when they want it (NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY THEY GIVE YOU). people who care about you will wait until your ready and willing do say / do / answer / preform etc. etc.

set community rules and hold everyone and yourself to them.

put disclaimers on links to gift / donate / tip you saying that everything is considered a gift and is non refundable or exchangeable.

part 9 (FINAL): respect yourself

it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks is ok. all that matters is that you feel safe and comfortable. remember:

hit them with the biggest hammer you have, and never look back.

i hope this is helpful. godspeed.
