Since @twitch is clearly incapable of thinking up new features for safety and their community let me help them out here with some stuff that could EASILY be coded:
Show where every single view is coming from. If you had this implemented, bunnyhop woulda been discovered sooner
Show where every single view is coming from. If you had this implemented, bunnyhop woulda been discovered sooner
Show where individual chatters are from, were they referred from Twitch or from an external site? Could help track down hate raid and sites like bunnybop sooner.
Wildcard name bans. Users could set it where Knee* would automatically be banned upon trying to chat.

The RIAA fee is like $200,000 per year per website? You could just take $1 or something from every paycheck you give affiliates and partners and put it toward that so we don't need to worry about DMCA complaints
This one might be tricky, I am not sure if it is possible from a technical standpoint per user, but allow the option of only chatting on Twitch, so they won't be able to chat on something like bunnyhop, but if they come to the channel itself they can chat fine.
Ability for streamers to turn off all embeds or block out websites that the embed can be on, or if it is technically possible ability to white list domains of where it IS able to be embedded (technically this may not be possible at all, haven't done it in years)
Allow different levels of mods. Some mods you might trust to mod your chat, but you wouldn't want to know your address, some mods know and hang out with at your house. Allow us to make that distinction and then certain mods will be able to see things the others won't.
Allow mods to see something like "this IP address has been banned from your chat 5 times since X date" so we know a troll is going to potentially cause problems.
Let streamers timeout and purge mods without them losing their mod power, sometimes they say something that they shouldn't, but doesn't mean it's something that should mean they lose mod.
Setup a suggestion area where users can make suggestions and then have other users vote on them, this will show you what the community thinks is most important and where they think twitch should go in the future
Add an option for videos to be seen only if you're logged in to a Twitch account, this way if we ban someone from chat, you could turn off video for them and then they won't be able to logout and keep watching
We saw what happened with pornhub this week with them removing every nonverified video because of potential child porn, there have been age verification laws pending in the UK for years now with mindgeek (pornhub's parent company) leading the charge in making the age verification
technology. You should do it. Amazon having age verification for free that could be implemented into Twitch and any website allowing alcohol sales, adult vids, etc without having the need to provide an ID to individual sites could be a good game changer for the internet.
This technology would mean that a user could submit their ID once, you would be able to verify they are an adult, show them beer, weed, condom ads, have an adult section on Twitch like you have alluded to in the past, and change internet culture forever.
Set clear rules for what is allowed on the rated E, T, and M streams. Mixer had these. Any alcohol, tobacco, excessive cursing, or weed had to be on rated M, you can then use this to determine ad spacing since if it's for everyone they shouldn't see beer ads.
Allow tags for what ads should not be shown on a stream. It's in very poor taste to have a recovering alcoholic have beer ads on their stream (yes this happens a lot).
Bring back communities. You added tags, but removed communities. It's not exclusive, it would be good to be able to search for LGBT+ in the X community playing Dead by Daylight. You want to help out small streamers? That's how you do it, you add discoverability like that
Show all games that have gotten streamers DMCA complaints for in game music specifically so we know what games to avoid.
Ability to turn off affiliate on a stream by stream basis. Sometimes if you are running a charity stream you may not want to get subs and donations and instead want all money to go to charity. This would also allow us to stream to multiple platforms for more exposure for charity
Allow alt tags on images for improved disability options
Links should NOT be clickable by default. If a mod posts it fine, but a random user? Why is that even automatically linked?
