I told Roblox this was going to go wrong Roblox replied to me telling me basically nothing Roblox did it anyway. The results are obvious and expected. devforum.link/4079702/3990

A long thread from railworks2 on the DevForums complaining the changes. He talks about legal reporting being removed and the expected impact from his time as a moderator

Two replies from one Roblox Staff in response to the previous reply. They note some details about a mistake in my reply as well as how owners could in the future be able to see all chats.

A retrospective showing the original comment as well as an extensive reply highlighting that what we expected has happened and will continue to happen.

Roblox has now decided it does not give a shit about the good thing it's done for a year by quietly giving absolutely zero data how well their moderation team has done in some key areas

Screenshot showing two of Roblox's California AB 587 transparency reports. On the left is Q1 and Q2 2024 and on the right is Q3 and Q4 2024. On the left is a number of tables showing data behind Roblox's Terms, on the right is Roblox's Terms of Use and little of anything else

Big congrats to all of the team behind Grow a Garden for hitting a massive 8.373 million CCU For some context, this is 2.57x the peak CCU of PUBG back in 2018 when it launched, the highest CCU in Steam records. Now that is the power of #Roblox

Graph showing CCUs over the last 48 hour period. Highlighted is a peak at 15:00 BST which shows concurrent users hit 8,373,094

Steam charts for PUBG which showed the all time player count peak of 3,257,248

You know, Roblox should absolutely make this a gift item. That or I make it myself ⁠Original post: chaos.social/@blinry/1086...

Roblox's annual report is now available to all. ir.roblox.com/financials/s... DAU down, RoW and Asia up 1%, men up 1%, console up 1%, age adjusted slightly. No breakdown of creators graph. Top experiences taking up more room across the board

Thank you Roblox. Very cool

That's actually a decent response to the backlash, I'm happy Roblox took the feedback on board. Ignoring the fact that the order of everything is still off, it at least feels clearer as a message devforum.link/3237100/387

Welcome to Rail tries to communicate the obvious again devforum.link/3237100/223 I have a feeling the PM behind the new parental control features have tried to push this so down our throats and hope it'll work. It's not and Roblox is paying for it.

Don't do this shit manually. Yea... I wanted to do this for a while but I just never bothered. Is that peak ND? Maybe

A fun update to The Archive coming very soon. As part of my cleaning up of Twitter, it's important that the things I've said continues to exist in some form. All 4.6k posts will be available in an easily searchable way

Meanwhile I'm writing an email to Roblox's legal team asking what is going on their their report to Cali's OAG on moderation Why no one noticed that 648 approved appeals is not the 15.8k that's in the two other tables

Screenshot of a document about moderation appeals at Roblox and how well they've done. It's contains tables on the category and type of content. One table has some really low numbers for approved appeals compared to the rest of what the screenshot shows.
