       There are a couple of live streamers who announce upcoming streams on Twitter.  Since I don't have a Twitter account, I typically miss the streams (and just watch the recordings).Is there a non-obnoxious request I could make for an alternate announcement method?  "Could you also create and use a Fediverse account" feels like a bit too much of an ask, but I'm not sure what to ask for instead.  RSS?  Email?Or nothing, and just build a Twitter bot at some point?

       @codesections depends mostly, while some are very nice to have a dedicated RSS feed, try and see if they have a subreddit that posts live announcements, or see if Twire (assuming they stream on Twitch) has a feature that can notify you, otherwise there's not really many options, it's a pity modern Twitter is extremely adamant to get a hold of your cellphone number to verify, and stuff like IFTTT needs your Twitter account to convert to RSS, sorry I can't be of much help otherwise tho :/

       @codesections You could ask them to set up a Twitter/Fedi bridge. That way, it'd be under their credentials, so Twitter's less likely to ban it.And then they'd have an easy out when Twitter gets too bad for them.

       @codesections I read a couple of twitter feeds through RSS via https://nitter.net e.g. https://nitter.net/bitshiftmaskWorks without signup, phone no. etc. No push notifications, but I wouldn't want them anyhow.

       @codesections Well, you can't officially get a Twitter->RSS feed anymore. But you can load the user's page with a bot that says it's a browser and scrape it.

       @codesectionsWeird, that isn't what I wrote. I asked if the streaming Services don't provide notifications.

       @codesections you could try following their handle @activitypub.actor or @birdsite.monster if your instance doesn't block these instances.
