Social Networks vs ROBLOX

Now, ROBLOX is clearly a fun website, as many of you might know. This article will attempt to compare ROBLOX to the typical social networks out there, like "Facebook", "Twitter" and "LinkedIn" which have many similarities and many differences.


With ROBLOX, we are given many luxuries like the ability to make a game from an engine that is free. The way we can chat to our friends and share our wonderful creations. But with being a great site with a huge, bustling community - there are definitely downsides. For instance, some users choose to break the rules and scam others out of their hard earned Robux, you cannot change your username (yet - unless you are in special circumstances), and special luxuries like ROBUX and Builder's Club cost money.


Nevertheless twitter has negative aspects to the site. Bullying on Twitter is much more common and the report button on Twitter is very hard to be found, whereas on ROBLOX the report button is near the message or lies within the game that you enter. The reports on ROBLOX are responded to faster than on Twitter too, keeping in mind that twitter is a very big company and unsurprisingly struggle with the amount of users.

Can these two work in conjunction?

Well, most of us here at Roblox News use them in conjunction, whenever we post we have that automatically tweeted with a link so we can share the wonderful articles my colleagues have written. And we can also share the amazing games the ROBLOX population have created.

Twitter is very good for sharing, twitter gains followers.

Perhaps say I was a programmer on ROBLOX and I started programming games that were for other platforms, people who were following me on twitter from ROBLOX can chat to people who are following me on twitter for the other platforms, and we all form a wonderful alliance that brings us together. It's quite common for a ROBLOX user to now have twitter, that's why whenever anyone wants to talk to me they should tweet me because I'll answer all the time, unless it's negative. Then I will leave you be.
