03:04 MTDiscord <Ronoaldo> Sorry to interrupt but as a parent, I got very concerned about the recently discovered 18+ server on the server list... I'm not sure if the largest target audience for Minetest is adults, but having that server listed by default in the server list immediately makes the whole MT ecosystem not safe for my kids to play. Just wanted to add two cents since here since the shared issue is closed as not planned.
03:34 Noisytoot joined #minetest-dev
03:36 MTDiscord <MisterE> That specific fix to the problem is closed as not planned, other fixes have been proposed and I think it has been decided to add an 18+ tag that server can declare, which can then be hidden in the serverlist
03:39 MTDiscord <MisterE> Apparently the server owner has expressed willingness to abide by such a system
03:41 MTDiscord <Ronoaldo> I understand. The software is not the issue. The way it was handled. If I was hosting the server list, that server was not going to be there anymore: it is explicitly inviting for player to have sexual roleplay. I really appreciate the whole team effort but unless I'm missing something, the fact a server explicitly inviting for virtual intercourse is still up is what  concerns me.
03:42 MTDiscord <MisterE> Yeah
03:42 MTDiscord <Ronoaldo> I don't know who the server owner is but also feels not very responsible either, advertising that server in the first place 😦

03:44 MTDiscord <Jonathon> nimbyism at its finest
03:44 MTDiscord <Ronoaldo> I will probably need to revert a recommendation I made for a school about using MT on a project, or at least warn teachers about it.
03:44 MTDiscord <Warr1024> Heh, it sounds pretty distasteful to me, but I'm more uncomfortable with the idea of banning them from a server list when there's currently only one central very dominant one, and not a ton of choice or flexibility for players or servers.
03:44 MTDiscord <MisterE> Nimbyism is warranted
03:45 MTDiscord <Warr1024> A tagging system will help give people flexibility without forcing us to heavily decentralize, at least.
03:45 MTDiscord <Ronoaldo> I'm sorry, I failed to understand that...
03:46 MTDiscord <Warr1024> If you want a solution in the meantime, you can change the URL for the server list in settings, as long as you don't think your kids will bypass that.  You can point it at a black hole and just use only remembered favorites, even, or if you're ambitious, set up your own filtering proxy.
03:46 MTDiscord <Ronoaldo> That is helpful, I'll add that to their machines.
03:48 MTDiscord <Warr1024> For a mid level solution, if hosting a filtering proxy in realtime is too complex but you don't want to lose the entire rest of the server list, you could try pointing it at a static file snapshot of the list.  Most of the major servers don't change their vital stats that often, and you just lose access to availability and player count kinds of data doing it that way.
03:48 MTDiscord <Warr1024> There aren't currentlygood solutions for the immediate need, but there's quite a pick of meh-to-not-so-great ones at least 😄
03:50 MTDiscord <Ronoaldo> Thank you. As a parent of three, I an genuinely concerned, that is why I opted to voice my concern here.
03:54 MTDiscord <Warr1024> I'd love to see a warning flags system a lot like what contentdb does.  Actually, the server list may be about as much of a risk as CDB packages in terms of the Play Store content policy already, so there are a number of reasons to get some traction on this soon...

04:26 MTDiscord <MisterE> Yeah, its worth reiterating that as long as that server is on the list, its not appropriate to recommend minetest to schools or really even children in general

04:34 apprentice left #minetest-dev
04:58 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> I suspect allowing access by default to certain content, unintentional or not, third-party or not, violates some Google Play clauses or at least hikes the PEGI rating
04:59 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> er, looks like PEGI was already mentioned, so I guess that one is moot
05:00 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> this also isnt the first 18+ server, pretty sure gundul's jungle server was also 18+ (not for any actual adult content or anything, I believe it was simply to cultivate a more mature environment)
05:07 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> ... which was also briefly discussed earlier
05:07 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> thats what I get for skimming backlog too fast
