Twitch reveals three new features to help combat hate raids TwitchTwitch has officially announced a series of new features that will help creators on the platform combat hate raids, including making it so new accounts cannot send raids. In August 2021, Twitch streamers began experiencing \u2018hate raids\u2019 from anonymous users attacking them with racial and homophobic slurs on stream. This prompted the creation of the #TwitchDoBetter movement, which led to streamers boycotting the platform on September 1, 2021. Since then, Twitch has created various features to help combat hate raids with shared ban lists and phone verification, among other features. Now, the platform is back with more features, this time with changes to the platform\u2019s built-in raid system. Twitch announces features to combat hate raids During Twitch\u2019s most recent Patch Notes stream, the company revealed that they will be adding new settings and features to the raid system. They also shared the list of features on Twitter: Set a minimum\/maximum viewer threshold for incoming raids. – Limit incoming raids based on the minimum account age for the channel raiding you. – Choose the type of channels that can add you – The viewer threshold and minimum account age for incoming raids are biggest of the features spotlighted, as it will help prevent newly created \u2018bot\u2019 accounts from sending you a raid. Many creators are also worried that it will limit the ability for small streamers to raid other accounts. It\u2019s unknown what effect it will have on that front, however, so we\u2019ll have to wait to see.
