But… but… the invisible hand of the market! Unrestrained competition! Capitalism driving innovation! Oh wait, was all of that bullshit and while you’re lobbying congress to cut public funding for shit like school lunches the minute you face the tiniest hardship from a competitor you turn around and ask for a handout? Suck it up, buttercup. Guess socialism wins again huh?
I have not, I’ll have to check it out.
I disagree on trolls. Like obviously some amount of fucking about is acceptable, but it really depends on the community and what they’re trying to do. If your community is about memes and joking around then great, do whatever, but if it’s based around serious adult conversation then it’s disruptive and counterproductive. Anyway, I just think that like anything in life moderation is a spectrum and the optimal solution is probably somewhere in the middle rather than at either end. I don’t mind people shitting on my opinions so long as they do it by engaging with my arguments and offering their own, not going ‘you’re stupid lol’ or whatever.
It is entirely possible to moderate too much, to quash the voice of your community in your rabid attempt to keep the community free of trolls and such. As with most things in life, there is a balance to be struck in the trade-off between the wild west and the gulag.
Oh sure I’m not saying Roblox isn’t an evil corporation that exploits children and functions on child labor, but responsibility for moderating what a child is exposed to falls solely on the parent(s).
Even though this amounts to 'how dare you expect us to moderate, I have to agree: parent your kids or don’t have them.
That seems like a lot, but that’s <$12/user in microtransactions and ~$43/user in games. That’s like… 2 microtransaction purchases and a couple indie games each.
Yeah, that’s why I said socialism and not communism. 👍
