Social media is a powerful tool to reach the game development community around the world. However, social media use can also open people to harassment and abuse. IGDA provides the information below to help protect our volunteers and staff, clarify formal guidelines for official IGDA accounts, and provide recommendations for the larger game development community. Much of this information is based on recommendations and best practices from other sources, including Kitfox, the National Labor Relations Board, the Society for Human Resource Management, and other companies who have shared their social media practices and recommendations. We are grateful for the information shared as we all work to make social media a better, safer, and more enjoyable tool for community interaction.
