WHAT IS THE 2TONWAFFLE 🧇 ⏬❓

The 2TonWaffle Community was created to bring together the elements of indie gaming news and reviews, alternative platform discussions, and independent content creation. Providing a space for people to learn about these topics that are typically hidden from the general public. To bring awareness to those who might be looking for some alternatives and for those same people to share what they've experienced with other like-minded people.

As a content creator myself and one who has traveled the far reaches of live-streaming platforms, I began to grow tired of the fact that the majority of live-streaming platforms and services were controlled by just a few large corporations. This was when I found the open-source alternatives. Seeing the possible solutions for a creator like myself, in taking back control of my content. To learn that there is a better way of doing things.
