For some reason I cannot see the messages sent by my bot in the Twitch chat - they do not arrive there and I don’t understand why.
The bot can receive messages, and even send and receive whispers, but apparently can’t send messages to chat. I can log in manually with the credentials and send messages that way - this works. I tried switching to ports 80 & 6667 instead of 6697 but to no effect. I must be missing something very obvious, but I just can’t see it right now.
Like in the following logs, I would expect the message “Hello everyone!” to appear - but it does not:
