We have OpenBlox (i dont want to mention it again that it is not to be confused with the cryptoshite site) ready to be forked BUT NO ONE WILL NOTICE IT
Didn’t DARPA and University research and a shitload of public funding technically build the modern world?
A world run by Roblox would mean worldwide child labor, getting paid in company scrip and widespread abuse. That’s why you shouldn’t run it, asswipe.
Silicon Valley built the modern world
Ofcom urged to act after US firm claims Roblox is ‘paedophile hellscape’
Explains a lot
Roblox is the perfect example of everything that is wrong with capitalism
What? What’s not to like about child slave-wage labor making tiny games for other children, whilst making the company infinite money all the time? /s
Because government and society are not a fucking video game you pretentious jackass.
They’re not a property market or game show either.
Looking in US news, that’s no counter point.
These are the mfs we need to do something about
Because we didn’t grant you our approval to do so.
So that’s why he lets children became nazis there? That’s why he lets pedophiles roaming freely? That’s why his company added predatory monetization?
The development of AI came from our stolen personal data. Why shouldn’t we communalise it?
The guy who made the electric babysitter…
Construction workers built all the houses.
Why shouldn’t they own it?
Odd, because a huge part of the problem is that Silicon Valley is running too much of the modern world. Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Google et al run their respective ecosystems as a de facto government. An unelected and undemocratic government.
They’re not running it, they’re taking giant narcissistic shits all over it.
The shits are of type running
it is some global anomaly that couple of biggest companies are essentially running on ad revenue (especially facebook and google)
wouldn’t it make more sense if that title went to company that is, idk, in food or construction or energy or mining business
That’s why in spite of protests against Trump, we should not forget the true power behind the throne, the ones who actually pull the strings. Trump is only the patsi. This isn’t fascism in the traditional sense where one man runs the show, it is the faceless oligarchs who do.
I think that’s why it is crucial to also include the anti-oligarchy message alongside the “no kings” messaging.
Oh, you mean the guy who invented the thing that works on child labor, takes children’s pocket money and exposes them to predators?

Oof. That doesn’t narrow down who we’re talking about nearly as much as it should.
And unregulated gambling. Can’t forget the whole item market aspect, where goods trade for higher and lower value based on speculation and demand like real-world securities do.
Btw, he isnt the creator, he is just the fourth engineer they hired. He is much more a content creator (and game patent asshole) than the creator: https://roblox.fandom.com/wiki/Community:Shedletsky
E: he also created this “A Bridge Too Far is a game that was created on September 21, 2007. The objective of the game is to blow up the bridge.” Which as a Dutch guy just makes a lot of alarm bells go off. (In market garden the bridges needed to be taken intact). Im not saying he is a crypto neonazi btw, it is just a dumb bad name.
That makes it somewhat worse.
Yeah, people keep repeating that he is the creator of Roblox all over the place, it is really odd. He is just the richest guy there, the Elon Musk of Roblox (Captain obvious here, this is meant mega derogatory).
E: I see what you did there :)
