For some reason i want to stream games on a platform such as Twitch, but im pretty scared to start and what people may think of me, and what if my device isint good enough?

I'm not even sure if I should start with Twitch or not?

Anyone got any advice on getting over my silly fears or something?

Hey! If you want something a bit less intimidating and you want an open source platform, you could join us on Owncast! It's a self hosted fediverse-connected streaming platform!

We're a small group of streamers, but I can get 10-20 viewers on a stream. Happy to talk more about it if you're interested!
