A friend was a Scratcher that had been added to another Scratcher's friend list. When a friend was added, they were not entitled to any personal information that had been used to register, other than their username. Once someone was added as a friend, new projects they share would show up under the "My Friends' Latest Projects" section on the Front Page.
Friending was renamed to following in Scratch 2.0, due to the system functioning similarly to following on other websites.[1]
Adding Friends
To add friends, all that was needed to do was go to the wanted user's profile and select the "add to friends" button. Once done, the user would receive a private notification that they had been added to one's friend list.
Removing Friends
To remove users from one's friend list, one could visit one's friend list page and click the X's on the right of each added user's username.
Reasons
Scratchers added others for reasons such as:
- Someone may have given help on a project
- To see any future projects the Scratcher will make
- If they know them in real life
- If they have posted a friendly comment on one of the user's projects
- If they join a particular gallery
- Because they consider that user an online friend
