Hello! Please finish reading until the end! :)
(MANAGERS, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE DESCRIPTION, MAKE PEOPLE MANAGER, OR REMOVE PEOPLE!!)
(Please don't ask to be a manager! Thank you so much!)
~~~~~~~~THANKS TO~~~~~~~~
Thank you to @whitewolf66 and @JUJHAAR, two of my best Scratch friends, for supporting me and helping make this studio come true!
~~~~WHAT THIS IS ABOUT~~~~
This is a studio where you can talk about yourself and have fun with other scratchers! Please read below for details. (The details are the most important!)
~~~~~~~~~~WHY~~~~~~~~~~
The reason why I came to Scratch is because I love to code! But then I noticed that people are always asking other people to follow them. I thought to myself, "Okay!", then followed them, of course. But one day while I was scrolling through comments, I noticed that some people were being simply awful to other people! They were forcing other people to follow them and threatening them if they did not do so. I was horrified! It then came to my attention that people were also asking for loves and favorites on their projects, which was fine, because no one was being awful.
I just wanted to say that the reason for Scratch is to code and have fun with other people. Follows, loves, and favorites make people happy, so please don't ruin that happiness and force people to do things that were a happiness caused action before! People will love, favorite, and follow you if they like your projects. Don't force them to! Please keep Scratch a loving community and don't be mean! This is just as important as many other problems.
~~~~~~~SOLUTIONS?~~~~~~~
I know exactly that feeling of pure happiness when you see it pop up in your mail: "____ is now following you" and "____ loved your project"! I love that as well! I don't want it to go, and I am willing to assume that you, dear reader, does not want it to leave either. I believe this cycle should stay. Just please, please, don't ruin it!
~~~~~~TAKING ACTION~~~~~~
So, I hear you ask in my imagination, what am I supposed to do about it? Here's my answer: try to just code and have fun. Ask yourself: What was the reason I came to Scratch in the first place? Have I achieved that goal? Have I, in the past, been mean to other people on Scratch? Do I yearn for people to love my work, love me? Think to yourself, please, and think some more.
~~~DURING THE PANDEMIC~~~
To those people, who have lost family and/or friends during the pandemic, I sincerely hope you are feeling better. To everyone, please wear a mask and stay physically distanced! This will not only protect you, it will also protect your friends and family, or anyone you have interactions with. If you do not, it may put them into danger. During this time especially, people should be kind and compassionate. I am willing to assume that you have done this already, but please, please protect yourself and your friends/family!
During this time, we need to support each other and keep each other safe.
~~~BACK TO THE STUDIO~~~
Here, is the place where you can paste your projects. Show people as much as you want! Have fun with other scratchers! But, the most important thing is, do NOT be mean. If any inappropriate project or comment is posted, it will be removed and reported. The author will be banned and reported.
If you see this studio and would like to join and be a curator, simply ask in the comments section! (Introduce yourself to everyone in the comments, if you wish!)
This is a studio made to help the community grow stronger together!
~~~THE FUN WE WILL HAVE~~~
If you have an idea for what e could do together for fun as a community, say it in the comments! Your opinion is valued!
~~~~~~~~~THANKS~~~~~~~~~
Thank you, dear reader, who has come so far and read so much. I hope you now have a better idea in mind about what you just read. Please invite your Scratch friends and family to alert them about this issue!
I just wanted to remind you, everyone is family here. Here's an example: two people, one with 3 followers, one with 300,000 followers, will be valued the same.
I thank you, dear reader, you are valued.
Hugs, @ravenlizzy <3
