My kids go on Roblox with their friends to find and report pedos

That's just good wholesome fun.

I played Roblox with my kids as I was worried about this. They wanted to hang out with their school friends in Roblox and I was worried about the whole pedo thing so I joined them to monitor what was going on. It was actually really good fun. We played on and off for several years. Didn't come across any pedos.

Oh, worth mentioning, if anyone is interested in playing, someone spooled up a server for Beehaw. https://beehaw.org/post/21062542

I don't think you understand Roblox if you recommend Minecraft as a substitute. Roblox isn't a Minecraft clone. It's a platform like Steam. There are thousands of different games.
Most of them created from literal child labor and exploitation. Roblox as a platform is incredibly predatory and I don't mean in a chomo way (though that too, sadly).
Yeah it's child labor but at the same time it's kids writing their own games and sharing it with their friends. It's the same as a kids youtube channel where they build Lego to show off for their friends- which Google and Lego profit from.
i tell people that roblox is a kid friendly garys mod clone
Kid friendly, except the predatory parts.
ooh yea in fact the people behind gary's mod is making s&box which is closer to be a roblox alternative
Nothing stopping kids from making games within Minecraft
Same reason goes for open source alternatives developed by the community
So there's a Blender like CAD environment tied to a scripting language for those open source Minecraft clones that let you pick and place assets from a menu and then add code?
Every Roblox install installs this development tool. It's ridiculous to compare it to the java programming needed to make a Minecraft mod.
And when you are done you hit "publish" and it uploads it to their servers ready for everyone to play.
There is even a server that allows you to "code" your own minigames using blocks
Its called mcdiamondfire.com
