itch.io is community of indie game creators and players

We Can't Prove Anything

🛑 What happened to the Scratch account?

  • In August 2024, Scratch Team deleted their account and all associated projects, citing rule violations. Community chatter suggests this was triggered by user reports—possibly centered around an anthropomorphic ("anthro") character they created or simply due to mass reporting scratch.mit.edu+9scratch.mit.edu+9californiaclan.fandom.com+9svg.com.

😔 Impact on their projects

  • Their core works, including beloved titles like Kit to Leader, Over Borders, and CaliforniaClan, disappeared from Scratch.

  • Fans confirmed that projects were removed “due to her mass reports” californiaclan.fandom.com+1moss-shadow.itch.io+1scratch.mit.edu.

  • On other platforms—like itch.io—they announced they would no longer be updating Scratch and would also reduce activity elsewhere .

Where to find their work now

About the rumors of their death

  • Some sources speculated they might have died, but this is just rumor and not confirmed. There's no verified evidence that they passed away . It appears they left voluntarily—and definitely involuntarily lost access—but are likely still around.

TL;DR

  • August 2024: Scratch account deleted, likely due to mass reports for policy violation.

  • Projects—and years of hard work—were wiped from Scratch.

  • They’re still active elsewhere: Games on itch.io, YouTube archives, and other social links remain.

  • No official statement of death—just stepping away.

So--we can't exactly say that they are dead, or committed suicide. All we know is that video--but for all we know, it could've been a hacker.

So, for our dear Mossy--don't give up all hope just yet.
