I told Roblox this was going to go wrong Roblox replied to me telling me basically nothing Roblox did it anyway. The results are obvious and expected. devforum.link/4079702/3990

Roblox has now decided it does not give a shit about the good thing it's done for a year by quietly giving absolutely zero data how well their moderation team has done in some key areas
You know it’s a great start to a Monday when you’re woken up at 5am by some house alarms going off and you can’t quite get back to sleep
Now that's awesome, you can now exploit your own place to test anti exploits devforum.link/3640609/460
Big congrats to all of the team behind Grow a Garden for hitting a massive 8.373 million CCU For some context, this is 2.57x the peak CCU of PUBG back in 2018 when it launched, the highest CCU in Steam records. Now that is the power of #Roblox
Can confirm I'm still alive, it's nice to be doing other things At the same time, it's fun to see what has changed in the Roblox space; so I visited Twitter for the first time in 6 months, turns out very little has changed. Too many people are still there, what will it take? No idea
You know, Roblox should absolutely make this a gift item. That or I make it myself Original post: chaos.social/@blinry/1086...
I will say it's great to see RDC announced with plenty of time. But I don't know about it being a 2 day affair again. It just feels too short, and I'm happy the replies say that. With the current state of the US? Doubt I'll want to travel devforum.link/3546082
Save the Date: RDC25
Hey Developers - Get ready… We’re thrilled to announce the Roblox Developers Conference (RDC) is coming back as a virtual and in-person event to San Jose on September 5-6! What is RDC? ...

Roblox's annual report is now available to all. ir.roblox.com/financials/s... DAU down, RoW and Asia up 1%, men up 1%, console up 1%, age adjusted slightly. No breakdown of creators graph. Top experiences taking up more room across the board
Sadly I don't get the joy of ordering Girl Scout cookies from here in the UK. But if you do and you're from the US, here's a list of 100 Girl Scounts you should totally order from https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/2025-trans-girl-scouts-to-order-cookies

Happy new year and welcome to 2025! Blwyddyn Newydd Dda a chroeso i 2025! The clock has reset, even though 2024 might not have been your year you're still here and that's great. Let's make the most of it, even if with the small wins.
In a related affair, it’s been fun to run Coolify locally, to self host some tools like a GitHub alternative and a Google Photos alternative. I’m not entirely sure if I prefer it over Proxmox but I think it has a place in my infra. Just about finding the right tool for the right project
Roses are red, violets are blue. Your service is cancelled, due to a lack of train crew.
Whenever my feed gets quiet, it does make me wonder if it’s quiet because A. folks not got a reason to post (entirely valid) or B. They’ve returned back to Twitter The fun part is that with B, I can’t tell because I’ve blocked Twitter on my network, it is a bit frustrating if they do go back
Eight. Eighteen. Eleven. Fifteen. Five. Four. Fourteen. Nine. Nineteen. One. Seven. Seventeen. Six. Sixteen. Ten. Thirteen. Three. Twelve. Twenty. Twenty Four. Twenty One. Twenty Three. Twenty Two. Two. 8, 18, 11, 15, 5, 4, 14, 9, 19, 1, 7, 17, 6, 16, 10, 13, 3, 12, 20, 24, 21, 23, 22, 2.
That's actually a decent response to the backlash, I'm happy Roblox took the feedback on board. Ignoring the fact that the order of everything is still off, it at least feels clearer as a message devforum.link/3237100/387
Welcome to Rail tries to communicate the obvious again devforum.link/3237100/223 I have a feeling the PM behind the new parental control features have tried to push this so down our throats and hope it'll work. It's not and Roblox is paying for it.
Would you like to convert your old Tweets into Markdown? I've created a script to do exactly that, designed first for Jekyll but designed to easily adapt to what you need https://github.com/railworks2/twote-archive-to-markdown
A fun update to The Archive coming very soon. As part of my cleaning up of Twitter, it's important that the things I've said continues to exist in some form. All 4.6k posts will be available in an easily searchable way
Pro-tip: Use `debug.traceback` when calling `warn` so that your logs show where it came from. #RobloxDev
Meanwhile I'm writing an email to Roblox's legal team asking what is going on their their report to Cali's OAG on moderation Why no one noticed that 648 approved appeals is not the 15.8k that's in the two other tables
I'm be honest, it's sort of frustrating that there's not been one platform where a majority of Roblox developers exist Apart from the Roblox DevForums and Discord (expect most developers aren't in the same Discord)
