lgbtqa safe survival servers? - Lemmy.World

I know this is kind of an oddball question, and every community is rightfully going to be different. Does anyone know of any chill, laid back survival experiences that are relatively safe/accepting for queer types?

I personally don’t play online servers for security reasons

It is all unencrypted on the transport layer plus there is a chance that server side modding could exploit a client

The biggest threat to me is the unencrypted stream. The other issue is that mods may have security issues that allow a player to crash the server or do something nasty. Last time I checked there was some work being done to secure Minetest better but I don’t know what the status is.

Interesting and frightening concerning =/

I have played and joining a ton of servers since I didn’t know about this, I guess I’ll have to re-think from ever doing it again, thanks for explaining and sharing that!

Thank youu!! That’s great news, I’ll keep an eye so I know when it’s safe to go joining any server like I was doing before.

Sorry for my somewhat unrelated comment, but if anyone’s interested in making a server, consider using the following mod which adds pronoun tags to players. I was disappointed to see that no server that I tried was using it.

Pronouns

Allows players to set displayed and queryable pronouns for themselves.

I’m sorry for my late response, but I think I may have finally found one. I haven’t tried it yet but its description says:

a safe space for trans women and our allies! (please see rules page for the password)
