🎵The internet is for porn🎶

And not at all for kids. No internet at all until like, 13. And then, with all the safety barriers possible. Before that age, maybe some online gaming (not roblox, just Minecraft) with friends.

Computers don't need the internet to be an enriching tool. Anyone remember reader rabbit? Encarta? The maze game? Time riders? Oregon trail? Age of empires? I learned so much using offline software.

    Minecraft is more centered on building whereas Roblox is a host site for many different types of games. Minecraft is a bit better for encouraging creativity.

    Cool thanks, my oldest is just getting to the point where he can play computer games (physically) and those are the two he talks about watching videos of with his friends.

    Roblox has A LOT of pedophiles and child predators/abusers that groom kids. Like a lot, one of the worst on the internet. It has been brought to the company's attention thousands of times and they outright say they don't care.

    Not only that, roblox doubled down on supporting pedophiles and actively bans "vigilantes" that try to unmask them or report them to authorities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5PTomkX1gU
