Jidion Gets Unbanned After 848 Days
Twitch, the popular live-streaming platform, has recently unbanned Jidion, a prominent content creator known for entertaining and often controversial streams. This decision has sparked discussion among Twitch users and the broader streaming community, as many are curious about the reasons behind Jidion’s initial ban and subsequent unbanning.
Why Twitch Banned Jidion?
Jidion was banned from Twitch after he encouraged his followers to harass fellow streamer Pokimane during his first verified stream on January 12, 2022. This action, known as a “hate raid,” resulted in Pokimane ending her stream early and Twitch upgrading Jidion’s initial 14-day ban to a permanent ban due to violations of the platform’s community guidelines and terms of service.
Jidion’s behavior was deemed as extreme harassment, specifically targeting Pokimane with messages such as “L + Ratio,” which led to his ban from Twitch. The streamer appealed his ban, but Twitch denied his request, citing the level of abuse as the reason for not unsuspending his account.
What Did Jidion Do After He Was Banned from Twitch?
After JiDion’s Twitch account was banned, he shifted his focus towards YouTube, where he continued regularly uploading content(which he later deleted). His move to YouTube came as part of the aftermath following his indefinite suspension from Twitch for what was described as “extreme harassment.”
Despite appealing the ban 15 months later, Twitch denied his appeal, leaving him to continue his content creation on alternative platforms. Additionally, in a bold move, JiDion broke into TwitchCon 2022 in Amsterdam but was subsequently kicked out, indicating his attempts to remain relevant in the streaming community despite the ban.
Why Jidion was Unbanned After 2+ Years?
After more than two years, the decision to unban Jidion likely reflects a reevaluation of his case and Twitch’s policies regarding community guidelines and suspensions. Twitch has not publicly stated a specific reason for reversing its decision. Still, it might be assumed that Jidion’s efforts to appeal and changes in Twitch’s policies or management’s views contributed to the reversal.
It’s also noteworthy that Jidion has shifted his content focus towards spreading religious messages, which may have played a role in Twitch’s decision to allow him back on the platform.
Will Jidion Return to Twitch After Ban Liftoff?
Yes, it appears he’ll be back to streaming on Twitch. He confirmed this in a video –
