My kids use it and it despise the platform. The chat function is set as everyone or no one. Any platform aimed at kids at a base level should have a friends only setting at the very least. It’s the most basic of safety features when providing a platform for children, and not having negates any argument that they care about child safety.

Agreed on all fronts. I wish more pressure was applied at places like Apple over this.

Yeah, I’m constantly having to push back against my kids and finally I had to say that people I read and trust their work say that Roblox is not a safe place for kids. And that finally got through to them. Set them up with Minecraft realms for them and their friends instead

Nicely done! It goes back to the "consequences of saying no" question. It sounds like you've found an alternative that works without your kids feeling like you're stripping a personal space away from them. That's great.
