*regarding 300+ giveaway orders and bc, i'll be active for 1-2 more weeks before i go. i will not be completing your order, so sorry but i am not in the right state of mind rn, pls understand and support my decision. bc results will be out in two days and prizes will be given before i go for good. aurora's cafe will be managed by a manager who wants to take responsibility or deleted.* ok so. scratch just isn't that fun anymore. i left two years ago on another acc because the community was beginning to...change. people would no longer give credit, there was so much hate, drama and stealing. so i thought, why not give it another shot? people change, right? wrong. scratch has become even more toxic, like a social media platform you want to escape but are addicted to. there's still soooo sosososo much drama, people want nothing but popularity and followers, and i can't deal with it anymore. i spend all my time making things for random ppl i don't even know and then ppl unfollow me, steal from me and don't give credit. i can't do it any longer, i've reached the limit and i'm about to break. tbh scratch is more like a social media now. you talk to random people and make things for them, you care about popularity and followers, and you're pressurised to fit into a standard, to have 'aesthetic' thumbs and banners like everyone else, to make things everybody else makes. now, i've been involved in tons of drama here. ppl attack ppl they don't even freakin know for the most random and stupidest reasons. i've seen ppl hate on each other, steal, not credit, unfollow and even try to online d4te like what tf is wrong with you? scratch is a coding website, not tiktok. it's corrupt. it's happened to me too. i remember the time at 50 follows i suddenly went down to 42, and just the other day i was at 376 and i went down to 372. i've made orders for ppl, they followed me and used it, and then unfollowed. i know exactly who unfollowed me and honestly that's just so sad :( people have used my stuff without credit, copied my projects, tried to stalk me and more crap. i'm repeating it over and over again but i can't stress it enough. it's wrong. stop. a lot of my friends are leaving scratch and i don't blame them. i just don't feel a purpose here anymore. i don't have project ideas and i feel like my work isn't original every time i copy off someone else's idea. then there's school. i'm not in primary school anymore and i can't just leave my homework to play video games. i actually have to study, and i have so many papers and exams coming up, and the stress is k1lling me. i've been wasting my time all day on scratch making things and trying to make my projects better etc etc, instead of focusing on real life. idc abt getting 1000 followers, i care abt going to a good school and having a bright future. real life is also very bad. one of my closest family members is in hospital and has been unconscious for a few weeks, my best friend and i have gone through a fight and aren't speaking. i'm constantly tired, not getting enough sleep, and my mental health is collapsing. my world is collapsing. so after a long, hard think, i've made a big decision. i'm leaving. goodbye </3 scratch just isn't for me anymore. during my time here, i've made over fifty projects, met some amazing people, and gained nearly 400 followers, tyasm <33 you're all shining stars in my sky, glimmers of hope. but the light is fading, and although ilyasmaiwmyasm, my journey here has ended. i've met some amazing ppl along the way, and i would like to thank them <3
