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
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!
