Why women don't like videogames? (lemmynsfw.com)

And before some smartass goes like: "are you living in the 90s? Girls play videogames dude, I'm a girl gamer! I even play Fortnite and CoD with my roommates."

Videogames in terms of the crowds that attracts is male dominated, especially as adults. Some girls replying that they play doesn't change that fact. I've never met a single girl into games... except one. My English teacher, she was younger than me, I think barely an adult (night school for adults). But I quit that place without finishing the studies and never connected with teachers, plus we're from different countries, there's no common ground, aside that I've never an adult woman into them. Do they think they're silly and childish?

OP has been banned, should we delete or keep the thread?

[–] avguser@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Off topic: OP keeps getting banned for the same trolling and incel behaviors, recreates a new account to avoid the ban, rinse lather repeat.

Not saying being a moderator or admin gives all the tools or omniscience, to detect this, but is there something available to ban by IP or flag by keywords? They always post the same things over and over.

It's a problem inherent of the fediverse. You can't IP ban someone because they can join a different instance.

That's indeed it. On the other hand, the community is still small, and such behaviours stands out quite fast, so we can identify their alts.

There are ways to address this, with various tradeoffs in terms of privacy or engineering

instances using oauth to a larger service that handles identity.
Require a monetary donation to create a new account (like how metafilter collects $5 to make an account)
Have new users be vouched for by existing users (the club membership model)
New contributors to a community are quarantined until a moderator approves their messages, and after some level of productive participation they get upgraded to not requiring approval. Then if they go off the rails, they at least had to contribute first
etc,etc,etc,

Yes, definitely, but as of now, we don't have much.
