Whispers expire & self-delete after a certain time.
The idea would be whisper messages delete like snapchat.
Currently users can be baited into whispers from people in their chat who "want to help" if there's some sort of issue.
They then have your username in their whispers regardless of blocking.
So if you experience trolling, harassment or stream sniping this is still very doable regardless of blocking. Any username change appears as if they are unblocked.
After sending a messaged to support I received the typical response and directed to managing harassment.
Again i point to the above...Even if you block someone and change your name it's still viewable in their inbox.

Expiring whispers would be a great privacy feature. Messages that automatically delete could help reduce harassment and unwanted contact after blocking, similar to how temporary messaging works on some social platforms. More insights: https://snapplanetx.com/

That's huge privacy and safety concern you're pointing out. It's crazy that even after blocking or changing your name, that initial whisper connection remains as a tool for harassers. The idea of whispers expiring and self-deleting exactly like snapchat would be a game-changer for protecting streamers. It shows a real flaw in how Twitch handles user data retention for private messages. Maybe a third-party tool can step in to fill that gap, something like https://snaptroud.pro/ , which seems to focus on adding features that platforms are missing. Streamers definitely need better, proactive tools to controls who can contact them and for how long.
