Overview

JiDion Unbanned on Twitch refers to the revoke of a permabanned of streamer JiDion on Twitch in May 2024, two years after he was banned from the platform for leading a “hate raid” against fellow streamer Pokimane. JiDion's return to Twitch became a viral topic on Twitter (X), sparking a debate about the platform's severity and inconsistency of their bans.

Background

On January 12th, 2022, American YouTuber and online streamer JiDion asked his viewers on a livestream to bombard fellow streamer Pokimane’s chat with spam comments. The incident caused JiDion a 14 days ban, which later evolved to a permaban from the platform, as the streamer explained in a tweet^[1] on January 16th, 2022. The post (shown below) amassed more than 22,000 likes and 2,600 reposts in two years.
