Roblox is a kids site. Not Instagram, Facebook, or any other social media sight. It may be connected like that, and I agree on a way to better improve the social media side of roblox..but friends and followers is just too much..this is a gaming site. Not a following and tagging social media site. Loftiness and best friends honestly worked best, and I don't want everyone who I am following to have everything open up, per say,or everyone who Follows me to know what I'm doing. Honestly, it's just too much of an overload, and worked best as friends and best friends, as it still kept a social media part, but limited towards where you only knew what certain people were doing, and not all 200, or even for some, 2 million, others are doing...that's just stupid unless you make the site completely for scoiql media. Now how am I too find what my groups are doing out of all that mess??? At least add a way to turn this off, if your to go through with it.
I don't think this applies to me much anymore, as I only check by every now and then to see what's going on in roblox, but this does apply for children who play the game often. The more you make this site into a social media experience, the less children like it's going to be, and the harder it will be for children to play.

Honestly, if I were a father, I'd be complaining to the company. With all this up, how am I suppose to moderate what my child does, and what he or she sees? Especially with younger children. I wouldn't want my child exposed to early to such things, but rather to simple games I could moderate easily. As most of roblox's attention comes from young children, why expose them to this to young? Social media is something that the parent decides when it should come into the child's mind, and putting it onto their favorite video game, just isn't right.

--addition:If this were to revert back to friends and best friends, maybe keep some features of F&F, just simplify it so it's not as exposed.

Nope. They messed it up by switching to it by messing up your friends. Now you want them to FLIP BACK and do the same exact thing? NO THANKS!

I guess Roblox is making it more social to draw in older-aged audiences.

@secret this may be true, but the games on the front page are boring for older kids. By the time your 14, your either programming or out of here...I just don't get the addition of social media...it makes no sense to really make it look like a social media site when it's not.

Basically I'm saying it's such a small update I don't get the point of it...why not do the same thing with friends and best friends?

All they did was change a few mechanics of the friends list, besides, most of us only talk to people on our best friends list, so quit your temper tantrum and *puts on MLG glasses* DEAL WITH IT
