@Guy-on-Poast @matrix Not a gamer, but you can depend on Wikipedia reporting these sorts of progressive actions. Other factoids from its relevant articles: their HQ is in Silicon Valley between SF and San Jose, Baszucki’s co-founder died in 2013 removing whatever moderating effect that guy might have had, in 2020 had “1,700 “trust and safety agents,” and is so connected its last round of funding in 2021 before going public was a “Series H,” as in the eighth round. Although it sounds like it has potential if it weren’t for the whole Big Brother thing. And the extreme corruption thing. So from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roblox
Activism
Users of Roblox have been noted for their efforts against racism, with numerous regular users and co-founder Baszucki having declared their support for the George Floyd protests and Black Lives Matter. In August 2019, an investigation by NBC News revealed over 100 accounts linked to far-right and neo-Nazi groups. After being contacted about the accounts by NBC, Roblox moderators removed them.
Controversy
Some extremist role-playing communities and scenarios present in Roblox have caused controversy.
Which points to a Wired article:
How Roblox Became a Playground for Virtual Fascists
Thousands of players flocked to a digital world filled with draconian rules, slavery, and anti-Semitism—and tested how far “just a game” can go.
The “draconian rules” refers to a group inside the shared universe, not action by the “trust and safety agents.”
