Because thats their entire reason, really
iām not a fan of elon musk myself but bluesky is just for people who disagree politically with him thatās it
and as apictrain0 noted here bluesky has a pretty dense amount of NSFW art and (in my opinion) if youāre a conservative on bluesky youāre more likely to be censored so sure twitter is politically biased sometimes but bluesky really isnt any better if weāre talking about political neutrality
(for clarification, i am not saying that iām a conservative or a liberal im not trying to make this political at all, im just talking about the motives behind people moving to bluesky)

I heard their reporting system was jammed, meaning you canāt even report having seen explicit art if you tried (That is, if their reporting system is still down)
Exactly, I agree with every word you said. The only reason people want this added is political which should have no place on Roblox in general.
I am not American, so the political space doesnāt matter. I just prefer a platform that I actually get traction on as Iāve gotten more people able to see my posts compared to Twitter. I also want to not have my posts be put into an AI as of the new TOS. I just want my memes.
BlueSky is growing by the millions every day. Just because Twitter is larger doesnāt mean that Roblox wonāt benefit from more social connections.
I have not seen any NSFW unless I turn on the mature filter (if unregistered users see mature content then that is a problem that needs fixing ASAP). Twitter also allows NSFW content on the platform, so does that mean Twitter should be removed because of that?
Why is it so hard for someone to prefer a different platform without politics being involved in the reason? I care 0 about politics and just prefer the platform and think that with it growing in userbase; it would make sense to add it. Discord is already planning on adding it to their connections, so I donāt see it being problematic if Roblox were to follow suit.
I will no longer respond to this thread as it seems to be getting more toxic as it goes on. I am still in-support of this being added as an alternative for the people who want it

(( We both know that what goes on in America will soon go on all around the world. ))
To me it still stands clear that the only reason people want this added is political. Nobody just wakes up one day and decides to ditch one of the most popular and widely used social media platform for some random no name site that appeared not that long ago.
Iām also gonna end this here, thereās no point in engaging with this Thread anymore. I hope I made my opinion clear.

Roblox should not add Bluesky and Threads social links to profiles/groups because itās only for political reasons. Letās be honest, the people who want Bluesky added are liberals.
So Roblox should not go ahead with this change and focus more on important issues (such as readding robux-paid plugins, public audio and a better asset manager)
I wouldnāt rule it out but one should be wary of the potential danger on Bluesky. Young children ending up on the site are immediately shown posts without even creating an account, and as a result can end up being exposed to people saying the new Star Wars movies are good. Letās tread cautiously.

The platform since this post has blown up and is now full of predators. This has gone from an idea id support to one that should never happen. Itās full of terrible images and terrible people. Every hour 3k reports are filed, 42k a day. Moderation is overwhelmed. Itās too dangerous.

Half of the users I follow on Twitter have either recently created an account on Bluesky or abandoned Twitter for the platform all together. This includes game based companies such as Steam, Game Informer, IGN, etc. Half of the time you spend on Twitter is spent blocking bots spamming swastikas under your posts.
Adding the ability to link Bluesky would be a great help for the plethora of devs using their old Twitter accounts to reroute users to their Bluesky accounts.

Ok, we get it, you can read minds and you can speak for everyone. Even when people talk about other points, itās just politics, we can ignore them. Cool.
The validity of what people said here can be assessed regardless of the reason that pushed them to type them. If they are valid, they are valid, if theyāre not, theyāre not. If people use a platform because they like it for whatever political reason, it doesnāt matter here. If you want to talk about numbers, the only thing that counts is numbers. Thatās it. The same applies to other points.
By the way, Threads is given at 275M monthly active users by multiple sources. Discord, Twitch and Roblox itself seem to be given at lower numbers. I wouldnāt boil down the question to a mere battle of absolute numbers. No need to spam about numbers all the time, they can be easily looked up and I think the Roblox staff is aware that numbers exist. Wheter numbers are big enough, what are the costs and resources etc. concerns them not you, you have 0 data about this. You can only speculate.
How can you say this? Itās only exploded in the last few days and is struggling with demand.
Give them a chance, since Bluesky seems to be a promising platform. Twitter is dying and seeing companies like Valve even join Bluesky, itās going to be a very popular platform if it can keep this momentum up.
Might be worth reminding you that Roblox is full of predators too. Every platform is.
Thatās a bit of an overexaggeration. Itās been around for a few years now if Iām right? Iāve been on the fediverse myself for two years now.
If the users are on a platform, then the companies will target that platform.
The child predator problem does exist on Bluesky. Itās full of degenerate art before you can even log in. Itās full of toxicity. Moderation is overwhelmed. Adding it in its current state, is not safe. To add, there is 6,000 tweets a second. That is 518,400,000 a day. That is hardly dead.

If Bluesky was a tad safer, Iād have no problem with it being added. Iād also like stuff like Mastodon, MySpace, Threads, etc added just so people can have whatever they want.
I donāt run websites, so Iām not qualified to say this but do you expect Bluesky to scale this quickly? I think you just need to give it time, itāll hopefully be resolved soon.
Does anyone even use that other than music people these days?

I chose MySpace just because it came to mind. I mean I want people to have options for social links. I agree with scaling, thatās why I said itās best to wait.

Adding bluesky as an option would be nice, thereās an actual dev community there, whereas the remnants of Twitter is overrun by bots and no longer working APIās.

More social links would be beneficial for Roblox.
Yep! Would be a game changer for us!
