This is an open message to friends I stream with on a regular basis. I don’t really know how to convey this other than a public setting and I hope that’s okay. Lately an issue I’ve been running into in the streaming world is conflict management. A lot of us don’t know how to handle it and try to avoid it at all costs (which I am very guilty of myself). And I think that’s out of fear of being looked at as a “problem” or hard to work with. So the natural approach is to just shrug things off and keep the status quo the way it is. It’s easy to feel replaceable in this space. If someone is hard to work with, another person who is easier to work with could just take your spot, ya know? I’ve been there a lot and have chosen not to make a bigger deal out of some stuff for these reasons. As someone who hosts a lot of lobbies, please don’t ever feel this way. I want to know when someone is having trouble with the vibe of a lobby or don’t like certain jokes that keep happening. I sometimes notice these issues myself and other times I’m oblivious until someone tells me. And I tend to be the last person to find out about these issues for what I believe are the reasons I gave above. I obviously don’t like drama and I’m sure many of you are in the same boat, but I do want to work to make things better when issues come about. In a mature, adult way and not let them fester. Because I love gaming with so many of you and want to continue to do so for a long time ❤️
