2019 Games for Change Festival

No one wants their social platforms to be filled with bullies and anti-social behavior, yet it can be hard to know how to develop a culture that promotes and rewards good behavior. Existing culture can be difficult to change. However, creators have more control than they might think. Rather than relying solely on codes of conduct or live moderators to police negative behaviors, understanding and harnessing culture tools can give you  power to increase pro-social behavior.  This talk will cover ways to systematically examine what an online space's default culture is, and specific techniques to make them more inclusive, welcoming, and desirable to users.
