The Aegis Security System
At the core, Aegis is a system for registered streamers (currently limited to Twitch) and Discord server teams who operate LGBTQIA+ safe spaces, to report bans they have issued against trolls, raiders, and those that do not follow the rules of these spaces.
These reports are made in announcement channels that auto publishes so servers following can get up to date and immediate reports. From there, moderation teams of registered servers/streamers can then judge those offenses against their own community standards, and pre-emptively issue bans BEFORE these folks come knocking.
As of May 2022, Aegis has over 30 registered discord communities and twitch streamers, with a combined community representation of over twenty thousand members!
Other Functions
In addition to security, Aegis is a central place for streamers and discord teams to meet, collaborate, plan events, exchange ideas, look for additional and experienced mods, train new mods, and so much more.
