i want to use the name of a chat app in my project, to refer to a conflict instead of that chat app. is this allowed?

I'd say use an alternative synonym instead; like the word “strife”, just to be safe.

there's also friction, dissention, and schism.

I think it's not allowed because it technically would be a “unmoderated chat site”, also If I remember correctly the scratch team has a little problem with saying names of unmoderated chat sites (I may be wrong though)

the filter wont even let you say it, no matter what context it is in. (its understandable but also extremely annoying)

Most chat platforms have different rules than Scratch's, so the app might contain content that violates the community guidelines.Therefore this is not allowed.

If you are referring to the blue-ish purple chat app; No, you may not mention it regardless of context. Alternative names such as what I called it, are allowed.

But that isn't the same.

Source? I think it's completely fine if you use it in a project, in a sentence, with absolutely no hinting at all.

Guys, he's not talking about that. he's talking about:


As for your question, yes, that would be allowed, but it might be caught by the filterbot (IDK if it detects that word).

Apologies, I thought OP meant using it to refer to the chat app.
In that case; It is indeed okay to use it, if you are not referring to the app.

Apologies; I did know they are referring to that one, however I did not understand their question correctly.

You can use the word as long you are not referring to the chat app.

The name of previously said chat app existed long before even digital computers did as a word meaning something along the lines of “argument”.

The OP is asking if they can use that word in the context of its original meaning.

In which case it should be fine.
