Can someone explain to me the appeal of Roblox? I don't get it. Gameplay and graphics feel like early 90s.

It's more about creating content and socializing

Gameplay and graphics will get better over time, but the built in memetics are already happening on a massive scale in game and on streams

A lot of it is user designed 

I've built a Roblox game using the studio with pre-built components and I think it's actually pretty good

I'll upload some screenshots later

The one I'm building for Farcaster will be pretty minimalist design and will rely on GUIs to present data on the protocol

(Work in progress)

I've assumed the graphics / gameplay is intentional and that I’m just not the target user. Is there another reason it's so bad?

Yep, usually there's one or more people narrating what they're doing in the game 

Sometimes w characters 

It's first person improvisational storytelling with visual effects

I've seen some of the twitch videos of people playing Roblox games, is that what you mean by creating content?
