I refuse to allow my own child on it. It takes zero effort to see all the super shady shit happening there. I wont have my child exposed to that crap.
I played Roblox with my kids for years and didn't find any shady shit. Not saying there is no shady stuff on there, but after 100s of hours either it's suddenly gotten worse, we somehow dodged all the shady shit or the media have exaggerated the issue. Take your pick.
I played with my kids because they desperately wanted to join in on the fun but the reports of it being pedo land made me create a rule of "you only play when we play together". We had great fun, have many fond memories of our time on there.
You definitely dodged the shady shit with that rule. Not just pedo land either, also the illegal child labor.
When my kids were younger I treated the internet like a large room full of strangers of all kinds good and bad. I wouldn't let my 8yr old wonder around on her own there so why would I on social media or multiplayer games.
That's an odd way to twist it. I must have had "parent" tagged to my avatar so to avoid the nasties.
My sister-in-law let her 10 year old daughter play it with zero supervision. When we found out we told her she should be watching what her daughter’s doing so she went in to check and found the kid talking to some grown man from Azerbaijan.
