(Internet slang, Twitch-speak) A Twitch community characterized by chatters reacting to events using W and L in text, instead of using traditional (or custom, browser-extension-provided) emotes. Associated with relatively more mainstreamized, hip, recent-influx Internet culture and black culture, in contrast to the poggers community which is associated with more traditional gaming culture and nicher, shibbolethic image reaction-based humor.
A deprecated Twitch feature where one channel embedded another channel's live stream during downtime, sending viewers to the hosted stream without making them leave. Twitch removed the formal Host Mode in 2022, replacing it with Raids only. 'Hosting' still survives as a verb in chat for any kind of stream-driven shoutout.
A viewer who actively types in chat, as opposed to a silent lurker. 'Chatters' as a collective noun refers to a channel's active commenting community. Twitch surfaces a chatter count separately from view count. Streamers often address chat directly as 'chatters' or 'my chatters'.
A livestream marathon (often on Twitch) whose length grows each time a viewer subscribes, sometimes running for days.
