It's okay to mention Discord. It's not okay to link to your Discord site.
Scratch doesn't ban talking about Snap!. :~)
on scratch you get banned for a week for even aluding to discord
gosh it feels so wrong to say that at all
Technically you don't actually get banned for mentioning this stuff on scratch, you get muted, meaning you can still share projects, you just can't comment.
Well you don't get banned for talking about them because turbowarp is the most popular scratch mod, and everyone talks about it (linking to it in their projects). I don't know if they allow gandi ide or penguinmod, but I'm assuming they do.
it was an exxaduation
Nevermind. Looking at the community guidelines, they banmute you for talking about extensions, not mods.
penguinmod doesn't want itself to be mentioned on scratch (AFAIK)
they just said that because mentioning it resaults in a ban due to the content of the discord server
Guess not
(It's on my scratch profile if you want to see it)
very offtopic
gd update 2.2 just came out after a 7 year wait
it did?!
don't be lying
What? Why? You can't say, e.g., "I really like the turtle graphics extension" or whatever?
Oh. Yeah, I guess that doesn't surprise me. Different age users and all that. My own one brief experience with Discord was unpleasant and I'm not eager to repeat it.
Why??
no, they mean you can't say "hey, go check out blocklive, it's great!"
I mean Chrome extensions/Firefox addons, like Scratch Addons, b/c they might be malware.
yeah
they don't maintain the extensions, so they don't know which are malicious or not
Okay now I'm confused. You're not supposed to talk about Chrome (etc) extensions? Not even the ones blessed by Google/Mozilla/etc?
But it's okay to talk about Scratch extensions, right?
no.
no scratchaddons, no blocklive, none of it
well yeah, scratch extensions are maintained by the ST because they're built into the site for the editor
this is all for safety of others' scratch accounts
they can't tell if a chrome extension for scratch will steal someone's username and password
they don't know if it'll steal personal information
Yeah.
They announced it a few years ago. (I think 2016)
(The only Scratch Extensions are the ones made by the ST, ever since the nixed ScratchEx)
because then st would possibly be mad
Ah, got it.
Oh, bummer! I see the reasoning, but that's a big loss of power for users.
(This is about why penguinmod would want not to be mentioned on Scratch...) Sigh. Nobody trusts anybody.
I hate the 21st century.
don't we all?
just sucks that i was born in it
