Update v2.3 is out! I gotta admit, I'm really really happy how it ended up, this has to be one of my most favorite updates we've shipped to date. So many little details and secrets that we always wanted to add finally got added :)

i think we are missing the part where they are also REMOVING all of our existing tools to customize chat, and taking away our ability to even make a custom chat ui at all or even see what is said in chat im so sick of this, the chat gets ruined even more every 3 months at this point, all in the name of safety but it's not doing anything. I'm sorry to be the one to say it, but it's not roblox's job to be babysitting your kids. You almost always have to actively go out of your way to put yourself in harms way on this platform, sure there are some very small amount of bad apples that managed to do it in regular games, but there is almost nothing roblox can actually do to *prevent* that, no amount of chat updates is going to fix it unless you straight up remove it. All roblox had to do was improve support and moderation, instead they keep shooting themselves in the foot with updates that sound good on paper but never actually work in practice We shouldn't be ruining the experience for everyone else because an extremely small subset (<0.0000001%) of users are bad actors, they are going to find a way no matter what obstacles are in front of them
Over the next year, Roblox will be adding new tools that allow game creators to customize text chat, including... 🙂 Emoji menu 🗣️ Voice typing 👤 Avatars in chat 🎨 Change name colors 🗨️ Typing indicators + more Read more on important updates to TextChatService: devforum.roblox.com/t/494843…

If this goes through as-is, in its current state, disguise chat will be impossible...
Roblox is making a HUGE change to in-game chat By May 2027, developers will no longer be able to access players’ chat messages through code, forcing custom chat systems to use Roblox’s native tools.

Since the reaction to Tower of Babel is overwhelmingly positive, we'll bring it back as a temporary event at some point! I know this may be vague but it FYI it'll be decently soon (and this time it will last for 24 hours instead of just 3). Stay tuned!

honestly I'm very happy how the latest pro server experiment ended up sprouting a beautiful discourse on languages and international culture in the discord server :)

opensource never dies
IFPI, a major music industry group, wants the EU to put yt-dlp on its piracy watch list. yt-dlp is a popular free, open-source tool that lets people download videos and music from sites like YouTube, IFPI says this causes problems for the music industry because people can save music from streaming services without permission. IFPI is not asking the EU to ban yt-dlp right now, Its asking for the project to be listed as a piracy-related service also names four of the project’s GitHub devs yt-dlp is extremely popular, with more than 190,000 GitHub stars and 16,000 forks. torrentfreak.com/ifpi-wants-…

Judge is getting a buff in v2.3! Aside from his usual ability to break a tie, Judge will gain a passive ability to clearly see who voted for who at any given time.
