Real-life woman, currently grad student @ MIT's CMS program. Interested in queerness + games + community moderation.
My advice to new mastodon servers: get help from people with experience moderating other communities. It's the best predictor of survival
Citation: online communities with moderators who gained experience elsewhere are more likely to survive over time: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/553b/7315936e49f98b18a37c4937a9170edab096.pdf

@Morgan I think there is a #mastoverwatch or similar? if I accidentally sent you a weird tag I apologise in advance
straight people: you /never/ see many queers hanging out with each other, that's not realistic
queers: okay but what if 40000 of us make our own gay leftist social network and also call everything toots
retoot if you love smashing capitalism, and being a bit gay

@ProtoZoetrope new paper topic?!?!
@ProtoZoetrope Ooh! Yeah I honestly think there's something to using photo mode as a way of playing *against* a game, so to speak? It's become my "scoot back and relax" game now.

technical note about this tech as I see some confusion/misconceptions:
Admins of your instance have complete control over your account. Really, we can read all the posts (including DMs) and we can even impersonate/hack your account with ease.
Make sure you trust your admins.
Here on toot.cat we have a CoC that applies to both admins and non admins. Admins are expected to abide by the CoC and not oppress users as well.
i laugh every time i spot the "Best Before" label on a jar of kimchi
IMPORTANT NOTE: some of those games are better games than others. But I think they're valuable even if they're not "fun to play", because they offer alternative perspectives and ideas that are rarely seen.
anyway here's the list i had. #gaming #queer #feminism #diversegames #gamerec
(let's just make up a few new tags??)

@Brandobin well here's the link to the doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UHDgs6r3D90115YfED6dLBgC4hyWBehvw2qfJUcR0q8/edit?usp=sharing
Links are all to the game sites where possible, so you can choose where/how to purchase.
@radix yeah this was our travel interlude, so maybe took an hour? There were five of us and we each went once.
