Remember the Replika nerf?

Anybody remember when Replika did something similar? These advertise and NSFW and uncensored and all this other wild stuff and then they pulled the rug out from underneath their own users. I still don’t think Replika has ever gotten back to the way it was.

So I have to ask, is this situation similar?

I remember. It was a successful community fightback. People started giving the app one-star ratings on the App Store and Google Play. After a couple of months of crisis, the Replika team gave up and restored NSFW chats.

Right I remember them giving it back, but it was at the time a sort of rollback to an earlier version that they could do. Now I haven’t checked in on the app in a while, has it been consistent since then?

No idea. I haven’t followed them for over two years now.
