If everyone could please do us a huge favor and help spread the word π Weβre working to get everything back up as quickly as possible!
ALT An announcement graphic from Mix It Up titled "PARTIAL SERVICE OUTAGE." The text summarizes that a DNSSEC configuration failure on mixitupapp.com has caused a partial outage affecting less than 5% of functionality, including the website, wiki, update checks, webhooks, and certain TTS/playback features. Because the registrar is unresponsive, the team is actively migrating affected infrastructure to a new domain: mixitup.bot. Core bot functionality, local settings, and user data remain completely unaffected.

Twitch's Stream Summary now encourages streamers to add all their clips from the stream to Stories.
The goal appears to be helping viewers "Catch Up" if they miss a stream and increasing demand for the Stories feature, which few use beyond saying they are going live.

Sery_Bot feature drop! Sery_Bot can now pin the ad break message when Twitch ad breaks start, so it's obvious when they're running. Unpins after the ad break is over.
!adtimerpinned to enable. Off by default.

RE: StreamElements
To get everyone on the same page, here's a breakdown on what's happening, because rumors always travel further and faster in a vacuum.
Earlier today, there was an initial rumor that StreamElements was laying off all staff and shutting down. I heard this secondhand from a trusted source, but, like any rumor, it was not confirmed; it was merely a starting point. (I personally require at least two independent sources to confirm a story, as individuals can make mistakes or misinterpret the facts, especially if there's a reason that might make it personal.)
Since then, this single source has repeated this story to everyone in his StreamElements Sponsorship Discord (not the official one), and as such, it has been shared as a rumor widely across streamer Twitter. Yes, he does work for StreamElements as a Creator Success Manager. So, he does have credibility. At the same time, I have attempted to get secondary confirmation from anyone at StreamElements - but have been unable to. Every person I have spoken to about this (creators, former SE staff, media people) has the same source... the person mentioned above.
Now that said, let's talk contributing factors:
1. StreamElements continues to be silent on the matter.
2. They have been slow to pay users in recent weeks.
3. They seem to have been removed from Twitch's Third Party sponsorship offers.
4. They have been soliciting donations to keep the service free.
5. They have had numerous layoffs over the last few years, and more have left of their own volition in the last few months.
On the other hand, it's unusual to simply shut down a service with hundreds of thousands of users without first becoming a paid service. Or maybe just shutting down part of the service and focusing wholly on the sponsorship side. Either way, it's unusual.
This entire thing is unusual. And while the rumors may end up being true, I don't feel confident saying that yet. As I said, my standard is at least two independent confirmations - more is better. I always prefer being right to being first.
That said, given the situation as presented, it may still be worthwhile to ensure any SEPay money is requested, and you may want to download your alerts (or move to an alternative, such as Streamlabs. Disclosure: I have a partnership with them - but an easy link to do so is attached below.)
If I learn more before StreamElements addresses it publicly themselves, I will share whatever facts I can confirm.

Seeing people push back on Jay-Den Kraag in Starfleet Academy got me thinking about how DS9 reshaped Ferengi characters in ways that broke their old mold. Fans embraced that growth then. So whatβs making this moment feel different?
