Roblox has always showed favoritism in their moderation. I have countless examples of roblox taking down my assets while other games get away with worse. Here are just a few examples of assets they moderated from my game. 1st one was for hand placement and 2nd was for romantic content.
Meanwhile dress to impress has avatars showing cleavage and making hearts in their thumbnails.
I just want roblox to apply their rules fairly and consistently across all games

In terms of quality, yes, front page games like grow a garden and steal a brainrot do suck. These are low quality games.
I'm not saying players don't find them fun and I'm not trying to take anything away from the creators. But I don't see these games changing how Roblox is perceived by outsiders. If anything, they just reinforce the idea that roblox is full of low-effort games.
The reoccurring sentiment on Roblox for the last 7 years has been “all the front page games suck”.
Right now we are experiencing the most explosive growth the platform has ever seen, largely driven by the games the developer user base call cringe or bad.
There has never been higher quality games across the platform, if the front page isn’t your cup of tea there are games with 10-200k ccu which may be.
My core tenant of Roblox development has never been to dismiss the front page as trash, but humbly study and work out why these games have 500k-2m ccu on it.
If you are a developer who says this game shouldn’t have 2m CCU on it, you are just as bad as the traditional game industry that has dismissed Roblox for years. Now AAA has two options to either catch up or partner with established Roblox developers as there traditional franchises fail to capture 10% the scale Roblox games do.
People have no idea how much disruption is occurring in front of their eyes right now.
Probably a hot take but I actually think Roblox is an extremely safe platform and their moderation is pretty impressive for a platform of 380m MAUs.
That’s not to say Roblox is perfect, but I think it’s unfairly getting too much blame. Parents need to be more aware of the safety features available. Disabling chat and restricting certain experiences drastically reduces a child's online risk.
The main problem is Roblox’s lack of communication, and they're losing trust because of it. They don’t need to respond to every outcry, but there are valid concerns that still need answers. If a user is arrested for predatory acts, why aren't they immediately terminated? Why are inappropriate roleplay games still up? (i.e. bathroom simulator, etc)

Decided last week that Bayside High School and starving artists won't be participating in the hatch event.
The Hunt: Mega Edition was a huge step in the right direction but this one feels like a step back. The roblox events team is super talented and creative but I genuinely don't know what they're thinking with this one.
We like to create fun and engaging quests whenever we're invited to these events but this one basically gives us no creative freedom so we felt it wasn't worth the time. And after seeing who else was invited, it looks like we made the right decision.
Crazy how roblox games go viral, and like clockwork, the same companies buy in and become the face of its success.
It’s creating this illusion that devs need them to succeed
This is the magic of the business that @Roblox has built.
When a top developer like @jandelRblx brings in millions of new players, the platform still captures almost all the value. 🧵10/10

Due to Roblox's new age restrictions, starving artists is now 13+. Thank you roblox for effectively cutting our player base in half while giving us no alternative to allow <13 users to play.
The vast majority of inappropriate behavior on Roblox occurs in roleplay games, but of course Roblox would never restrict access to those games because that would affect their bottom line.
