This is the wrong topic. The ST changed the username of to it

but here's something interesting.. the API doesn't return any user data about them. which means api.scrarch.mit.edu has some of its own username validation

disclaimer: sometimes my posts are pretty critical of the scratch team (especially my older ones), but i really do

scratch & scratch team. jvvg made a short essay thing about the scratch team, which is a pretty good read, if you want a different perspective for the scratch team's actions.

Whats the minimum limit now? Maximum is 30 characters (although I only saw a 20 letter name till now. Never a 30)

Edit; wow there is a 28 letter one! (Listed above by someone)

Probably (it doesn't accept 2-letter usernames either).

the api doesn't has limits on username length. you can easily find the stats of that user elsewhere

hmm i wonder if since the api blocks 2 letter names, the pages use a placeholder date. that would make the most sense to me.
Yes, but what about the end? DK, LT and k9 have their real join date

They're join date is the release of Scratch 1. I bet of you made a two letter account now, ghe join date would be January 2nd, 2019.

Never mind.

It was possible in the early days of Scratch when the 3-letter limit didn't exist

Because 1-letter and 2-letter usernames are too short

That isn't a good answer. Why are they considered Too Short?

I don't know any social media site (except youtube) that allows 1-letter and 2-letter usernames

Why would anyone want to make their username “I”, “a”, or “an”?
