Yea I agree.

Most of these effects work except for the confetti. The confetti puts emphasis on publishing content instead of creating it.

Give me three pros to this (or even two) other than “toddlers will like it,” which you have no data to back up.

how the sigma does seeing a wiggly question mark motivate you

and how is scratch boring without?

No support, it could cause lag and people will spam social actions just to see the effects.

i like the idea of confetti when doing some actions like sharing a project, loving a project, following, etc. but otherwise i think it'd be annoying

agreed
and no, it will not cause any lag unless you are literally running a windows 95 pc

Debatable. Its target audience isn't toddlers, but it's for all ages (although I think making random features just to cater for toddlers is unnecessary).

Also, this just puts more emphasis on social actions rather than creating; people are just gonna spam love-its and the rest.

I'm not sure how it would make it feel more like a social media, cause most social media don't have that. But the idea does seem unnecessary.

Scratch is for all ages! (It's recommended 8-16, but that doesn't mean you have to be that old)

Really, there isn't many issues with this suggestion, especially if there is a, “Turn off effects” button

BUT! That's not to say there are none. I know my tablet would lag out every time I did something lol

Making a counterargument? Look here first!
An evil kumquat ate my first username lol

I took a break from the forums because it did a number on my mental health and made me consider some not so good choices. I came back because I thought I was ready, but I feel like I can still barely handle it, even with staying away from most drama hotspots…

I don't know if I made the right choice

Try to refrain from saying, ‘No support’. It comes off as extremely negative. “The forums are for criticism! Don't post it you don't want it!” Agreed. But I never said that you should agree with everyone. No suggestion will ever be perfect
What sounds more constructive?
“No support, people would spam with it”
“This would lead to a lot of spam, since people can't get away from it. Not to mention, it might upset a few people with the way it's implemented”

In #1, you didn't help OP at all. You said you didn't like it, and why. Nothing else. Not even what was causing the issue of spam
In #2, you pointed out the flaws and the root causes of them. Flaws shouldn't always get a suggestion absolutely ignored

And simply supporting doesn't always help either. It's not a voting system, it's improving your ideas. There's going to be cons, there's going to be flaws, and that's the point of the suggestions. No suggestion is ever 100% perfect in any way
Here are some things you can look out for:
-Are there any flaws/cons that haven't been addressed or fixed?
-Is this idea fully flushed out? Or are there some questions you can ask?
-Are there any flaws that you know how to fix or do you know how to flush something out a bit more?
-Is there anyone else who is confused and needs some clarification?

If you don't have to do any of these, then you can move on!

Is a suggestion unable to be added because it's just impossible? Point out why and have them decide what to do next
But still, try not to say ‘no support’

I dont think scratch is for toddlers. Yes young kids but not toddlers. So, no support
No support, if youtube did that then the site would have alot less videos.

Okay, you edited your comment

argument:
1.This isn't youtube
2. YouTube DOES do those effects (Even saying the word ‘like’ or ‘subscribe’ will cause the buttons to light up)
3. Citation needed

Quite debatable. What does “supposed to” mean? Who is making the rules for this? If the parents, then all parents do not impose this restriction.
