so uh im quitting PLEASE NO COMMENTS LIKE "DoNt LeAvE" or "no what?" because im NOT STAYING. So the explanation is probably going to be very long, so im going to address the main points here if you dont feel like reading it -Scratch brings back bad memories -Not exited for it anymore -Cant draw with a mouse -Dont have time to keep up with it/Getting in to more things -Scratch has become more childish -Making better friends on other platforms Okay you still here for the long explanation? Okay strap in ===Point 1-Bad Memories=== When I was in the prime times when I was on scratch (ages 10-11) I was in some deep things. I couldn't find reasons to get up, I was always angry, and scratch was all I thought about in those days. Now getting on makes me want to cry as I remember those times that really took me down as a person. I'm much better now but sometimes loading up the website brings back some things. ===Point 2- Not exited for it anymore=== When I was younger I was so excited to visit the website to spend the rest of my day animating and talking to my friends. Now I have amino to talk to friends on and have much more exciting things to do. (ill talk more about friends in the next few points) Now getting on seems like a chore ===Point 3- Drawing with a mouse is tough=== The scratch editor is a PAIN to draw with. I draw now with my phone and fingers and my art has improved a TON. When I draw with a mouse its hard to convey my real talent as a artist. Not to mention scratch and piskel dont have as much tools and brushes so my creativity is much more limited. And the mobile editor is a hassle so dont tell me I could just use that. ===Point 4- Dont have time/I'm in more fandoms=== My daily schedule is: -6 AM: Wake up and get ready for school -School for six hours (+Creative writing and reading) After school: -Drawing and commissions -Talk to friends -Moderate my communities and chats -Watch TV/Video Games/Keep up with other things So I don't have much time to get on anymore unless I have some free-time and I feel like checking up on it (that happens only once or twice a week though still) ===Point 5- Scratch is more childish=== With 3.0 Scratch got a rounder, softer makeover that seemed much more child oriented and aimed towards younger kids, but now the moderation is so tight that its scary to post a vent or some mild gore in fear it will be taken down. ===Point 6- Making better friends on better platforms=== As stated, I am very active on amino (I go by Pikubs there if you want to find me, we'll probably talk more). It's hard to keep up with disc0rd and amino is right there on my phone. I met my boyfriend on amino, some of my BESTEST friends on amino and ive only been there since july of this year. My Scratch friends have more friends that seem more important to them, and barely talk to me and there responses to me seem very lack-luster and not interested. I get NOTICED on amino. People INCLUDE me on amino. Nobody here spams me with hearts. None of my friends actually like or favorite my content or even VIEW IT, and none of my friends here seem to care about my well being because none of them take the time to talk to me. Sorry for venting. But bye. I may be on to like projects. Maybe post one on my second account ( , where I will be most active)
