Reject Moderator Status
Before being given moderator status - users should be given the option to accept or decline.
Moderators should also be able to remove moderator status from themselves on any channel.
Too many times new twitch streamers are throwing Mod status at everyone that walks through the door, hoping it's their new best friend.
Where are the users right to just be a viewer?

Rejecting moderator status can be a bold decision, reflecting your preference to stay out of the spotlight and focus on your personal interests. Whether you choose to maintain a low profile or pursue other passions, it's essential to stay true to yourself. Just as branded clothing makes a statement about your style, your choice to reject a role speaks volumes about your priorities and personal boundaries.

Further to the comments above, I believe it is completely inappropriate for Twitch to allow someone to add individuals as a mod without confirmed consent. The ability to do this can exacerbate parasocial relationship issues, eg "oh but this person I have come across has a connection to me as my mod". Assuming you take the time to remove yourself as a moderator, a notification occurs in chat which can be perceived as "interaction". The individual is not prevented from continuing and can immediately re-add you.

I agree that after a channer owner /mods someone, that someone should need to accept the role.
I understand that we can /unmod ourselves in a channel, but this prints a system message in chat, eg. "user has removed the moderator role from user" which can draw attention to it. Not always wanted.
In addition to this, if a viewer blocks a creator, the viewer should automatically be unmodded in the creators channel. This does not currently happen.

You can just /unmod yourself.
