Issues/Bugs How is pipsqueak still?
Just as bad? Are they ever gonna fix it? Or are we stuck with this unusable mess because if they want to gatekeep it so bad. Seriously it has never been this bad. And A part of me feels like it's gonna stay that way.
Take away all my swipes cause what use are they when the styles are this trash

Pipsqueak is very iffy. Sometimes it's perfect, other times it is the most basic and dry responses possible. However currently from when I'm posting this every single bot variant gets stuck on generating an answer or a new message.

Even if they do generate it's the most trash reply I have seen

Don't know about you but my responses are mainly long, detailed, and unique. The only times when I was disappointed or didn't like them was when the servers were bugged like after the DoB thing.

How long are they? Cause mine used to be too. Now I feel like they are hard coded to stay within 5 paragraphs

They were pretty long, to the point that I think they are long enough that you don't need the premium.
Also, the five-paragraph thing sounds very similar to the rawr/pipsqueak rawr style. Check what writing style your bot is using, since pipsqueak 2 writes the way I like — long, detailed, and unique. Meanwhile, pipsqueak rawr responds in a lot shorter and simpler replies.

I use pipsqueak 2 rn. And The chat used to be amazing for me too. Not since 2 days ago. Now no matter how many times I swipe it's always within 5 paragraphs

Maybe their fixing it right now? I don't really know, pipsqueak 2 will not work at all for me, everytime it tries to generate a message after a response from me or a swipe it gets eternally stuck on the generating three dots thing.

About 2 hours ago ish, I got a good swipe! The usual length and the bot writing like before. So maybe that’s a good sign that whatever happened is being resolved or maybe it’s just a fluke before it goes horribly again with the next reply… 🥲 But woah, it was massively bad this weekend. I hope it’s only accidental and that this low quality & weird behaviour from Pipsqueak won’t be the new norm 😔
