Your going to get the same if not more drama induced and political conversations on a Brickadia Server as you would on a Blockland Server because it's a newer game and because people like to argue. The server host and said admins are supposed to be the ones who moderate the content of the server, this shouldn't be the responsibility of the devs - it is not their job to regulate internet behaviour but to improve the game mechanics. Nothing you mentioned makes Brickadia a better game
Don't get me wrong, so far Brickadia is pretty fun....but....still has a ways to go before it will be as unique as Blockland
I was talking about Brickadia Discord server, not in-game. It has rules (at #rules, see pic below) that do not allow political discussions, and that's a plus for me. If you need a place to desperately spread your political views, you can do it somewhere else. I am here to play a game, not to talk about Annoying Orange or whatever loving political thing is happening right now. I do this in my free time with my family, friends in real life or on sites where it actually has an impact. Not when playing games.

I am partly with you about the server part even though there are more than enough exceptions where I see it justified that the devs take a hand in this (see Chat Moderation and Server Hosting) as well. Nonetheless it is not on to you or to me to decide whether it is the responsibility of the devs to regulate internet behaviour or not on
their game. They can do whatever they want with it. The rules the devs set up are fine (except maybe what exactly falls under NSFW in in-game servers. How about building a richard in Brickadia? Is it breaking any rules to build a detailed vagina? Etc.) and people who stubbornly (not if it's an actual rational convo) arguing this are, not surprisingly, often the same stuff-stirrers we know from Blockland.

That's definitely not what I said though, so please don't start this strawman. But by the way, Brickadia has the potential to become a better game that could replace Blockland, if everything turns out right. The preconditions are already available and in-use (engine, (future) game mechanics, an active playerbase, etc). Of course, you can't satisfy anyone, especially the people with nostalgia googles. Nonetheless, Brickadia is on a good path so far.
