Cool, but it'd be a lot cooler if it wasn't on Twitch.
E: really depressing to see that even people on the Threadiverse don't understand Big Tech problems and how they impact our daily lives, or can even fathom the idea of anyone making a difference.
Where else, Kick?
OnlyZohrans.
He could livestream to multiple platforms.
Personally I'd enjoy a stream to any federated/open source platform like peertube.
Would it kill Lemmies to read the article
Still only corporate platforms unfortunately.
This feels a little like a "take this great thing and find something to complain about".
I don't think you're recognizing the challenges of live streaming to thousands of people at once. This would destroy any existing Peertube instance, and there is no reason for NY to set up their own when most of the population is elsewhere. I'm all for federation, but the infrastructure isn't there for this.
I'll personally choose to celebrate when leaders do something great instead of nitpicking their platform choices.
the "perfect" is the enemy of "good enough"
I'm not even complaining, just pointing out the obvious, even though I understand why it's the way it is.
As the other commenter said in a reply to this, people are quick to complain about a better solution just because it isn't perfect. But I'm not complaining because frankly I don't care that much.
I'm not from NYC, I'm not from the USA and I'm not even from that continent.
It's cool Zohran won the election, you guys should celebrate his feats and criticise his faults.

Yeah, both users would enjoy the stream.
I mean ideally he would put it on his own website or something. Owncast?
That sounds like a moderation nightmare, engagement nightmare or both. Twitch is a big established platform that makes it easy to reach people. It's nor great but it will serve his purpose better than sacrificing the message for principle.
You have an astronomically high bar for the average normie
He's going where the working people are. That's a people problem, honestly.
He's been office for 5 months! Why isn't everything perfect? Ffs, we have a guy in the white house trying to burn the world down so he can make a buck. Put your ire towards trump, but your thoughtful criticism towards Mamdani.
Because Twitch is owned by a tech oligopolist. One of a handful actively running this country into the ground. The one who paid Melania $28M to make a movie that no one wanted. (AKA a bribe). The one who's responsible for killing more small businesses than anyone else, ever? I mean I could go on...
Well, fuck, I guess that means Democrats can no longer go on television, either, since most of those networks are also owned by nazis.
I guess we have to give up because this choad here doesn't want to live in reality.
so name a social media company that is not shit.
What? They are supposed to use some small unknown platform? Like how do you expect people to be able to access something if they don't know that it exists
He...tells them? The same way people access his Twitch livestream without knowing it exists. The same way we are finding out right now.
