That isn't how good URLs are supposed to look like. https://scratch.mit.edu/privacy_policy is much better: it has a short domain name, the link is self-descriptive enough that you know what it's about before you click it, and the only delimiter is “/”, like on most websites.

scrat.ch could be used to shorten URLs like this: scrat.ch/p/V074Y

(V074Y is 366198296 converted from base 10 to base 64 using this)

More ideas:
scrat.ch/u/PkmnQ or scrat.ch/u/BDhP264 (User ID converted to base 64)
scrat.ch/s/Kx3t
scrat.ch/dt/ByGm
scrat.ch/dt/ByGm?p=5
scrat.ch/dp/SCVX

This is an account that exists.

Here, have a useful link:

The Official List of Rejected Suggestions by Za-Chary

no support for the OP's proposal: scratch.scratchfoundation.org

Such a pain to type.

Infrequently active.

It feels weird to see how far we've come. I hope you're well, wherever you are!

scratch.edu would be good. I'll support that.

Good idea! I'll add it to the op

/hj is the worst tone indicator. It's confusing and ambiguous. I hate it. The point of tone indicators is to indicate tone, or the way that a piece of text should be read, but what does “half joking” mean? Do you just wake up in the morning and think “wow, I really have something I want to talk about seriously but also kinda not, IDK you decide.” It's useless. I hate it. It just provokes a deep rooted anger within me whenever I see it. People just comment /hj as if it makes any sense. It doesn't. Oh wow, it's a tone indicator that's has a relative meaning, how useful, I'll use it in every comment I post. NO. STOP IT. You're a tone indicator, you have only one job, and yet you sit there doing nothing apart angering me.

/srs

^^^ (there's more below)
This one is useful because it tells you that this signature is fully 100% serious. (/srs) Who would've thought that tone indicators needed to tell you something about the piece of text they're attached to? /s

I'm serious, I'm not even going to put multiple (/hj)s a the end of my signature as to mock the previous paragraph for not getting the point of something(like previous version of my signature). /srs

https://scratch.mit.edu is from https://mit.edu (What is the reason that whenever you do a shortcut to the site, you see a M.)

Signatures are the only place where assets links still work.

I don't think .scratch is a valid domain

The only thing I support is scratch.edu to redirect to scratch.mit.edu

Here's a con for .codes:
There is no .codes.

That's the point - we want it so that if you type in scratch.edu, it goes to scratch.mit.edu

for the scratch.edu suggestion, you need a proper school to get a .edu domain, the scratch team cannot get a .edu domain

What's a domsin? It's not grammatically correct…typo?
