I’m sorry but that’s really not a good idea.
Group shouts are one of the only way groups can send information to all of their members. You never know when something might come up that needs to be shouted.
I would say this change was worth it. As a developer, I haven’t found the “My Feed” tab as useful.
A lot is an understatement, it isn’t even a linear scaling problem: When you become a bigger platform the moderation problem gets exponentially worse, because now there’s a big enough audience that it becomes worth it for spammers and scammers from outside of the ecosystem to come and explicitly target it.

I agree with this change. Before statuses were removed from roblox, the last post I recieved in my feed page was 8 months ago. It’s good that this feature nobody cared about is gone
I am against removing the feed.
Roblox should have embraced social media instead of burying it on a page no one goes to.
I hope there are future plans to expand the social media aspect.

I’m not sure if you’d know this, but is the investigation to find ways to rebuild the forums cancelled or postponed? AFAIK nothing has been said about that since they announced it.

I guess this is fine, I rarely looked at the page. I hope that group shouts will send notifications though, I know they occur on pc but it would be useful if you could get them on mobile too. If an option to choose which groups you receive notifications from could added as well, that would be useful too.
The Feed was outdated, however a replacement will be needed.
Also another question, what’s the replacement for this?
I wont be that happy if it’s some sort of thing with Guilded, Discord is just better in every way.
And, I never had any issues with it updating. I wish I did, so I could see all of the old statuses, but is started updating again in late 2019 for me I think.

The ‘My Feed’ page has been missing from my account for about a month and a half or so. While I will miss it (out of pure nostalgia), it is time.
I do want to see group notifications moved to the notifications tab. I, alongside many other groups use this feature often and without access to it to notify our members, it’s fairly useless.
I doubt roblox will integrate guilded. When they acquired guilded, they said they would keep the platforms separate.

while this was inevitable, i absolutely hate the way it was done;
i liked being able to just have all group shouts and any friend updates on a single page, but the way it has been purely neglected just to eventually turn it obsolete is not cool at all

Maybe you can make it so that you can do group shouts whenever and it goes to their notification box and if they (members) don’t want it to go there they can go to their settings to opt out of it instead of leaving group.

The My Feed page was rarely used after it was moved to it’s own page on the sidebar anyways, so I have no problem with this.

We still have the in-app chat and the messaging system. The Forum was removed because too many people were causing problems, and status was removed because we have the about section.
Those aren’t the only people who cause problems on the Devforum. There are also those people who make their opinions clear whenever they can and throw a hissy fit whenever anyone disagrees with them. I used to be one of them, but I’m trying to change that. Don’t worry about the Devforum getting removed, it does lots more good than bad.

I agree with the forums part, but the statuses are still very useful, and the About me isn’t as good because people wont want to read it most of the time, the the in app chat is completely useless. You cant say about half (taking a guess) of the english dictionary if not more, including words like Discord on 13+ accounts!

You seem to only care about not being able to say Discord because you’ve mentioned it twice now, but Roblox has their reasons to censor it. They don’t like people going off their platform to do Roblox-related things.
Also, the only difference between the about section and the status section is that status appeared in the my feed tab, which obviously is being sunsetted.
that statement is just factually wrong, roblox really doesnt care what you do outside of the platform, wether it be breaking ToS or doing shady things; as long as you earn them enough money.

Unless you’re someone they don’t like. Then they care.
>move feed off home page
>no one uses it anymore
>“I guess it’s time to remove it since so little people use it”
Was hoping we’d get a better home page one day. Oh well.
