I saw part of that video the other day and what you and the guy in the video are saying is absurd. This guy is all butthurt that Roblox can't monitor and ban people for what goes on in Discord chats. How and why would anyone expect Roblox to enforce it or even care what happens off of their platform?

They shut the official forums down to not have to deal with moderation, they created the issue of third party communities

That's fine. They don't need to offer that service.

I’d have no problem if that was their stance. “Hey, we know about the abuse happening in the broader game development communities and we want to help, but we can’t control what happens on discord”. But that’s not their stance. They seem to be pretending nothing bad ever happens, and also (for some reason) running a stock market for children over Roblox items with extortionate profit taking on their end.

I don’t expect them to fix everything overnight. But there’s plenty they could do, if they weren’t too busy gaslighting and ignoring any criticism of their platform.
