My much more resonable goal is to never play Roblox.

I decided to try guilded.gg as an alternative to discord finally, only to find out they now require a Roblox account to log in. So much for that idea.

Matrix.org is a good alternative, teamspeak’s new client also uses the matrix protocol

I used to run a Mumble server at home on an RPi, the sound was way better than Discord, but I didn’t like how it made my IP appear on shodan, I also didn’t like needing to keep it updated.
I work in IT, I don’t want to work at home.
So I moved to using Steam, but due to network issues on my end that didn’t work, so we moved to Discord.
- nocturne ( @nokturne213@sopuli.xyz ) 3•11 days ago
I want the chat aspect of discord. I use it for my business (local game shop) to keep customers updated on preorders, new releases, and events at the shop, and to just chat with everyone. It has a much better reach than Facebook or Instagram.

Inoculate your kids against Roblox, today!

How fucking delusional do you have to be to earnestly suggest that this is your goal
- Elise ( @xilliah@beehaw.org ) 8•11 days ago
He’s the ceo of a kids drug, ofc he’s delusional. I just ran into another roblox addicted kid a few weeks ago. Good luck getting that shit out of their brains!
- apotheotic (she/her) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) 2•11 days ago
Not just a drug, also the largest child labour force!
- Elise ( @xilliah@beehaw.org ) 2•11 days ago
How so? I only tried it a little
- averyminya ( @averyminya@beehaw.org ) 5•11 days ago
Kids make the games.
It’s child labor in the same way Super Mario Maker is, except Roblox actually pays the account.

PeopleMakeGames has a great video about how Roblox makes money: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXlauRB1EQ
And the followup when they got heat from roblox in response: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTMF6xEiAaY

Spoiler: it’s child exploitation
- Ech ( @ech@lemm.ee ) 3•11 days ago
Should definitely still watch the videos. The full extent of the exploitation is sickening.

10% of all global gaming revenue? Does that include mobile games?
How close are they to that now? It doesn’t seem like they’re even as big as Minecraft.
- Hacksaw ( @Hacksaw@lemmy.ca ) 11•11 days ago
Dude that’s not even close to the most insane part. They expect one in every 8 humans on the whole earth to play EVERY DAY.
- Melatonin ( @Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 4•11 days ago
I didn’t count, is that how many there are? WOW, that’s a big ask. I think I’ll do my part and die someday to make room for another whatever this game is we’re talking about player
- ulkesh ( @ulkesh@beehaw.org ) 12•11 days ago
Kids will realize some day what garbage Roblox actually is. And then the ride will be over.

What’s more likely is adulthood + next generation enthralled at a different game
- DavidGarcia ( @DavidGarcia@feddit.nl ) 11•11 days ago
This just in, Roblox is reportedly in talks with Kaminoans to pump out 100 million new Roblox users ever month, starting April 2027
- DebatableRaccoon ( @DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca ) 9•10 days ago
That would certainly explain suddenly forcing Guilded users to have Roblox accounts to use a chat app. Get fucked, Roblox.
