Off Topic / Re: Blockland on Roblox's old manual swear filter

« on: June 19, 2023, 12:02:49 AM »

I could've sworn there was discourse about Roblox players saying "Roblox is better than Blockland" etc etc in game for a while. Did that not happen? Or was it reversed and it was mostly Blockland players saying that about Roblox? Either way, I thought it was low key a good thing that Blockland was big enough for Roblox players/community to talk about it in game somehow.

blockland players have been saying "blockland is better than roblox" and roblox players have been saying "roblox is better than blockland" for many many years, you are not misremembering

it's not that bad but they changed the close overlay button position from top center to top center-right which is really annoying with the muscle memory i have at this point

there's a button to close the overlay? for all my time on steam i've always used the hotkey to close it... maybe u should start doing that too

Why is it that on every online forum, that being either like Discord, Reddit, Twitter, or even the damn BLF, 50% of its users are gay or trans or something. Yet you go outside and notice that they make up like 1% of the pop. Are LGBT people terminally online?

i spoke to somebody in-game who is trans this question and they said it's simply easier to find friendlier spaces online, and that it's easier to discover who you are and to express yourself online so you end up finding that most lgbt people have spent enough time online to become who they are. this would also answer similar questions like why are so many furries programmers

you have a cognitive bias. for every queer person you see online there are like 9 other straight people who just aren't making themselves as visible because all they do is play valorant and talk with their friends or something, which also goes for a lot of queer people
there are absolutely straight dominated communities, you're just not in them for some reason

probably a bit of this too

it'll be weird when this niche corner of internet history is wiped forever tbh

there's something to say about blockland - most of the content is contained among its users with the exception of youtube content
-
you mean... if we die... blockland... blockland is dead...

i thought ninja was used when somebody caught somebody else editing a post before the minute threshold where it broadcasts to everybody on the forum that you edited your post at that time -thus: ninja edit

me too

one on one sure, in a group with people you don't know? sorry but it's not their job to decipher whether you're actually trash or just trolling (which are kinda synonymous most of the time) and acting like that just shows that you put your personal feelings about the word ahead of others who you might make uncomfortable/might have trauma surrounding the word which is a self centered character trait

from the context provided it wouldn't be difficult to ascertain the intentions behind the words said (the laughing between each other and moving on from it like it was nothing). it would be a little more understanding if the person did have trauma relating to it, but in that case is the mature thing to do not to simply ask to stop saying it, rather than to record it and spread it around everywhere?

? this behaviour is super immature and extremely out-of-pocket. the way you framed it is hilariously unaware tho

how so? is it not equatable to calling good friends handicaps, cunts? i.e. banter?

i don't really understand why i'm not allowed to reclaim slurs that apply to me and have been used against me in private.

this, the only way a word can be harmful is if you allow it to do harm. in a healthy friendship and friendly setting, words that may otherwise cause offense, shouldn't. a friend calling you a friend should not be taken at face value (unless the friendship is unhealthy, where there is abuse and distrust). this is a mind-blowingly simple concept that seemingly very little people can grasp
