Clarifying the "flipped followers" is a feature and not a bug

If you've been on Scratch since the November 1 maintenance (10:30 pm EDT) and looked at the followers section on someone's profile, you might've noticed that it now shows their first followers at the front. …

So close… Wait, no, actually, just not close.

what do you mean by that?

It also sorts “Following” by account age (oldest first) which is very dumb and I hate it

it's good to know the oldest scratch user you're following tho, and just click view all if you want it to go back

I just noticed that this update seems to be prioritizing famous scratchers to show up on the lists first rather than the first or last pepole you followed. Why is that?

I honestly liked it when it was the other way around so that I could give lesser known scratchers a chance to be clicked on.

I thought it was by account age

My point still stands. The older an account is, the more chance it has to get more exposure. I honestly think the ST needs to reconsider this so that all have an equal chance at getting seen.

Great. So basically, ST is scrambling to find any way they can (short of outsourcing) to just keep the servers alive?

Not just that, they also are randomizing the order of followers due to a DDOS attack caused by a random teacher account with over a hundred follower bots, long story, and maybe because of overworked servers.

If they aren't sticking to making profits off purchases or ugc (similar to any dlc based platform on the internet), then they have to keep their servers running with all the money they can get or what they have as a foundation.

They are struggling a lot more than us users, and are quite a small team.

Until ST gets better servers, I don't think that's in their plans. Their servers work like servers off temu
