3 YEARS????? tw this is a bit of a rant and it does mention some heavy stuff so uhh be mindful of your mental state! i swear it was just yesterday i'd barely been here for a year! time flies when you're having fun i guess. thank you guys so so much for being nice and supporting me. scratch was where i went when i was getting bullied by homophobic/generally just mean peers, and i have so many good memories from this website. with that being said. i despise how far scratch has fallen. using ai from what i've heard, banning users for speaking up, leaving absolutely vile stuff up while deleting other things for even MENTIONING certain people. while it has changed some things that i like, i still think that it's getting worse and worse. just like the world i guess. this is my one safe space for now, but i fear soon even online won't be safe for people like me. don't get me wrong, i'm pretty well off and have many advantages, but as you can see in my pfp, i'm not exactly supported by everyone. this place, though, has been so welcoming and friendly. even if no one sees this project, i just needed to say all this. thank you guys so much, i hope i've been able to make you smile at least once.
