Censor Slack.com links from Scratch Entirely (added Guilded.gg)

TheQuackHouse

This is going to be a short suggestion, Slack and Guilded are ripoffs of Discord, I'm pretty sure they both have no moderated chat, so people can bypass unmoderated chat links via Slack and Guilded.
I know, I know, not a lot of people talk about Slack but when I saw the ad to it, and I researched it, I realized it was the business type of Discord.
serious sidenote i dont have slack cause its for business and it sounds boring tbh
And I heard Roblox bought something similar to Discord a few days ago named Guilded, so we should remove this from Scratch as well.
As always, in every Suggestion topic I make, please tell me if this is a dupe or rejected.

(For Scratch Team: Please blacklist the following domain links from Scratch due to unmoderated chat:
slack.com
guilded.gg)

I wonder if “slack” is used much more often as a normal word than “discord” is. I often don't hear “discord” used in everyday language, but I do hear “slack,” e.g. “Do your homework and don't slack off!”

Let me rephrase the Post: Slack.com links (sorry if it didn't make sense)

No support. Discord is well-known, even by those who never used it before, whereas Slack has a much lower user base and seems like it is business-oriented, so it doesn't appeal to many people.

Changed my mind

But that doesn’t mean it’s okay. With that logic, we should be able to post bad words if people don’t use them a lot.

To the OP, support, it’s reasonable to block out chat sites, and people may use it sooner or later. Better safe than sorry.

I have changed my mind
Support. Slack seems like it is becoming more popular and people will soon use it as an alternative to Discord on scratch.

Support, we don't need another discord.

Please don't use blocks to write regular stuff, it's very hard to understand.

I mean either way it's an un-moderated chat platform.

support, but there is also a Discord clone (one that I know of just because Roblox bought them some days ago) called Guilded, maybe block these links too? from what it seems Guilded doesnt have moderation either. so you can post swear words completely fine.

Slack seems more “genuine” (for the lack of a better word) than Discord, than a ripoff. Support for obvious reasons. It's (as I said) Discord but for buisnesses.

Let me research on it and I may add it to the main post.

Edit: In fact Guilded is a chat site; SonicFanX123_321, is it an unmoderated chat platform like Discord?

Let's not stereotype and guess “most scratchers ages”.
