For some reason, scratch has gotten progressively slower, and the ST/SF has done nothing about it, instead working on ai (Sorry, I'm bitter about the ai thing).

I don't think anyone knows why it's been slow, however I remember an ST member said that they were actively working to fix it.

Weird things are happening.. And I feel that you can answer them. Can you, or is it just some bug?

My browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.15.7, Chrome 145.0.0.0, No Flash version detected. The same issue doesn't just happen with this computer, but my phone and every single device I use. It takes forever just to load 49 projects, most of which not even being that heavyweight. I just hope this gets resolved soon, yet all they're working on is AI and experimental features. The comments are constantly lagging, causing duplicates from us while the servers lie that the comment didn't get through. Sorry for the rant guys. That's it.

Get another server. That's why they opened membership, right?

I wonder what the scratch team would say about this. Besides saying that messing with servers is hard

If that's true, then it took 62 minutes and 42 seconds to just post it.
