i think scratch should add an extension for multiplayer well the things ive listed becuase i think they would make scratch WAY BETTER!!
how multiplayer would work:
just like cloudlink
how chat would work:
it would have filters made by scratch and report users
blocks:

ask [What would you like to send?] and wait

Filter☁️  (answer)
Send☁️ (filter) to [general]

Create chat named [general]

how storage would work:
it would be personal storage
example:

request user to download (my variable)
load (my variable)

smth like that yeah

I feel like an online chat, even if filtered, would still not be allowed since Scratch cant trust you to moderate it beyond filtering.

so it will never exist?

Yes, cloud chat is not allowed on Scratch because it's not moderated. That's why you can't put letters in cloud variables.

So like would storage be any file or just variables?

For uploading files that would be an awful idea, someone could just upload a .zip bomb and crash the project and for blocks like variables Scratch projects take up small amounts of space (usually less than 30 megabytes for the full project) so cloud storage for blocks would just be a waste of storage, bandwidth, and most importantly, money for storing and managing only a few kilobytes of information.

Also uploading files onto the forums is a rejected suggestion, so the Scratch Team might just apply the same logic here.

You know you could still chat with lists

yes but it breaks the scratch rules so my idea is a version where scratch does a chat extension so we dont break any rules or anything
