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

What? How easy can that be done? This is the first time I hear of this

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Everything is unencrypted so anyone between you and the server can change or drop packets. Theoretically mods shouldn't be able to attack the client but they have quite a lot of control over the server and other mods.

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 frighteningly concerning =/

I have been playing 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!

There is someone adding QUIC support to Minetest

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 (I unfortunately do not know of any explicitly safe servers :( ), 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 (or perhaps it just wasn't advertised or presented in a GUI interface). (I haven't tested it myself, but it seems like a feature every server should have)
