That was kind of my point?

That just because it’s “dangerous” for children doesn’t justify banning it wholesale. Sorry I wasn’t more clear.

Yet Microsoft allows people access to host a private server while also putting up scary warnings for kids telling them to stick to the “safe” realms servers or whatever (are they even still called Realms? fuck if I know). On the one hand, it’s good they haven’t removed it entirely, on the other hand, it seems like that may be their eventual long-term goal with how they treat the private server ecosystem.

I also think Discord and Roblox contributed to people not knowing what the fuck “server” actually means anymore.
