@remixtree (lowercase only) redirect occurs on user pages
With the removal of the remix tree page, another change that also happened in tandem is that navigating to the user in the title with all lowercase letters for the username, will redirect to /users/remixes. This does not occur with other combinations of upper/lower case.

It does the same thing for any capitalization of remixtree, there's a conversation about why going on here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/845291/

(#2)From my testing, the redirect only occurs if you type “remixtree” with all lowercase letters.

You can still access a profile with “remixtree” in its name if you capitalize some of it.
This definitely feels like a strange bug. The redirect should only occur for projects, but seems to instead apply to all Scratch URLs with “remixtree” in them.

You're right, it works for people - what I was testing was adding /remix tree (space because /remix tree normally is censored now) to a project, that doesn't work with capitalization changes

The API seems to not do this…

This also happens with usernames that start or end with remixtree, like
@theremixtree
@remixtrees

This seems to be mostly fixed now, with one exception: there’s a user called “RemixTree” and if you type their username in all lowercase it displays the page for a user called “remixes” instead.

Hmmm… that final bit seems to be fixed too.
