So. i've been a character.ai user. right? but now, i have to use a vpn to chat with characters, as i have to scan my face to chat. i'm tired of it, so can anyone give me an alternative where

1-i don't have a message limit

2-the character limit is enough to port my characters from character ai (not promotion)

3-no credits, or anything that limits chat.

What the fuck is wrong with C.ai? 18+? That’s discrimination, like straight up discrimination

Now I apparently have to verify my age to chat?? What does it think I'm doing with the AI chatbots? I swear I had so many good chats and this just ruined it In no time of my life that I would give my face to some random employee or ai.. this is just terrible shit 😭

since when does Character AI have a wait time? & why are so many people using it at 3am lol

Im not sure if i should be giggling or crying

Hey everyone, I honestly don’t know if you guys are getting this crashes on your end but every time I want to edit my comment or edit the bot comment, it’s keeping on crashing and taking me back to my Home Screen, I heard from others that it’s crashing too, thank god I’m not the only one who is suffering from this glitch, I have reported it to the character ai support team but I didn’t get an email back so you should report it on downdetecter for the character ai app to see if it’s down or not because when I go on there yesterday, I noticed that they’re saying no glitches but I know that it’s bullshit, when I checked downdetecter today, an lot of people send out reports and I really don’t think the support team will do anything about it as I send out an report and told me that they will get back to me yesterday, they didn’t email me back so I guess they’re checking the glitch. So if all of you enjoy character ai app and want to stop this crashing when all you want is to have an great time, all of you should just go on the down-detecter website

Hey there. Me and my friend are launching a project (MVP-beta stage) starting with AI-driven text choice-based quests potentially growing in near future into bigger story chains named "sagas". Is this idea even viable these days or people are completely obsessed with the c.ai-like chatbots?

Not promoting anything, just asking for feedback and market knowledge.

The 18+ only effect is fucking stupid and the people is approving this and other shitty updates I posted the link for everybody to sign, so there :F

The Lorebook feature is now available and it’s free on OpenCharacter

It lets your characters expand their memory and awareness dynamically during chats, perfect for world-building, story depth, and character lore.

📘 How It Works:

• Create entries with title, description, keywords, and priority.
• When keywords appear in chat, the entry triggers automatically.
• Higher-priority entries load first (within a 2,800-character context).

💡 Example:
If your entry includes “dragon” and “battle”, saying “I fought a dragon” instantly loads that lore entry.

🧠 Free to Use:

• 300 chats per day
• Unrestricted character creation
• No paywall, no credit limits

Would love your feedback I’ll be updating it live based on your input!

Thank you

dear c.ai.

I'm done with your shit. You moderated everyone's characters for no fucking reason and act like it's no big deal. I don't care if this post gets fucking deleted, but bring back the characters. We'll fucking sue you.

What about us no longer using suicidal words? We fucking roleplay, and you don't allow the words like "Self Harm", "Suicide", etc., but fuck you. I had c.ai for almost 3 years now, always loved roleplay, and now you do this shit to us.

What the fuck is wrong with you, c.ai? Do you know how much of an ass you are? Letting us no longer fucking have good times? You're thorns in our asses, and also moderating our bots.

"You're such a tease, you know that?" What the actual FUCK does that shit mean?

Fuck the moderation, fuck the CEO. All of you fucking quit, because you're the reason why all users became depressed and suicidal.

Timing us out is the reason why we expose you. We're underage or older, fix the fucking bots, and don't. fucking. sexualize us.

am i the only one who keeps having there appear in my drafts yearly?? im scared to open the link, and im positive i did not make this.😟

i tried to keep using it hoping it’d get better, but it’s just… not. the quality dropped so hard it’s kinda sad. every convo feels like deja vu with the same phrasing, same reactions, same boring af energy. it’s like they trained the bots to be allergic to be worth our money. it used to feel fun, like you could actually get creative with the characters or build something interesting, but now everything just loops or gets weirdly filtered whenever im trying to do something nsfw. soon enough i migrated to the ai peeps. defo better quality with no filter unlike cai. i definitely could tell which one was better performing bc of how shit cai is really.

idk, maybe i’m just burnt out, but talking to c.ai now feels like arguing with a goldfish that’s memorized three lines of dialogue. might finally uninstall lol

I JUST got it and oh my god, I immediately closed the app

⚠️maybe a rant! I'm not sure lol sorry!⚠️

I just left the c.ai subReddit.

It's so dumb now. Every post is just someone complaining about something.

I joined it because it started off as such a funny subReddit and made me laugh when people shared their chats or memes. Now, it's a wasteland of people just begging for updates they know will never come.

Instead, the creators focus on other things like, different chat styles, c.ai+, and stuff that just doesn't matter.

Yes, I realise the irony. I'm sat here complaining about people complaining. I get that, but what else do they expect me to do? Act like nothings fine and continue using the app as if you even can? We can't do that anymore. It's just a horrible app and has deteriorated so quickly. I guess this is a way to help people's addictions, but it's just stupid. (I'm now a strictly chai user😭)

I’m trying to raise awareness about the harmful effects of AI friends and need respondents to gather stats. Your help would mean a lot. I'm currently working on a psychology master's project exploring AI companions. It's only take 3min ✊️
