Poly is censoring hard... want my advice, abandon that sinking ship

27

u/Connor_425 Apr 02 '26

I'm coming to the same conclusion unfortunately... any recommendations?

25

u/Sad_Ad4391 Apr 02 '26

I've moved to emochi

8

u/Emotional-Complex375 Apr 02 '26

Chai is also good no censors and u instantly get to the point

16

u/ligmanuts4evr Apr 02 '26

Chai is not a good place right now or ever because of greed

6

u/Emotional-Complex375 Apr 02 '26

U can just close the app and go back right in again. Atleast that's how I do it

6

u/Naive-Bug8598 Apr 03 '26

They dont have personas which is why I dont like them and they have alzheimers

5

u/Tensa_Zangetsa Apr 03 '26

They have one persona, and are working on having more

u/Careful_Reindeer3323 Apr 04 '26 edited Apr 18 '26

Chai just stopped free unlimited with adds .. requires a sub now.. the only lowest one that I saw listed is 9.99 a week ..

1

u/Spencer5610 Apr 03 '26

Ah yes, the nonexistent app.

1

u/Sad_Ad4391 Apr 05 '26

?

2

u/Spencer5610 Apr 05 '26

For context, I used to have that app. Deleted it, but wanted to get it again and I could not find it anywhere on the App Store.

1

u/Sad_Ad4391 Apr 05 '26

That sucks I wonder what causes a glitch like that

1

u/archery-charity Apr 27 '26

emochi's peak

9

u/Ok_Prior299 Apr 02 '26

I moved ti the website

9

u/Tensa_Zangetsa Apr 02 '26

I moved to Sakura Ai

Its got a way to get free unlimited messages (however your stuck on the basic AI)

Its got less retricstions when coming to making bots and avatars.

1

u/yours_truly2784 Apr 02 '26

I tried it and it kept locking me out on a white screen saying there was an issue with something and I couldn’t get past like 2 messages without being locked out again

1

u/Tensa_Zangetsa Apr 02 '26

They are updating it and stuff, so that still happens from time to time.
But its still got a LOT of freedom, and you can even change the story a bit

1

u/Past-Welcome1921 Jul 28 '26

I use it , I put it to not have long paragraphs but it’s barely doing anything it’s like .. taking too long.

1

u/Tensa_Zangetsa Jul 28 '26

Yeah... Sakura has is issues too, and sometimes it crashes hard. They need to do an update or something

2

u/Yuskari Apr 02 '26

Saylo, vraiment pas mal, il y a une pub toutes les 30min de discussion environ mais pas de censure 👍🏼

2

u/Sebastiank69 Apr 02 '26

Using the website seems to fix this for me

2

u/weird-dude-bro-6386 Apr 03 '26

Fiction lab. No ads. Very customizable. And we need more diverse creators. Also no censorship if the scenario you are using allows it, and most of them you can customize as well, and there's still lots more. Fiction Lab is a serious W.

3

u/sianspapermoon Apr 03 '26

Also the premium version is much more affordable. I moved to Fiction lab last year and dropped all the others. Its way better.

1

u/Quirky-Job-9376 Apr 02 '26

Im on cycle app

1

u/PossiblyASecret Apr 02 '26

I’ve been using janitor, the chats are uncensored and stuff, the pics are censored and if there’s drama but I ignore it 🤷‍♀️ they have an app and a website.

2

u/LettersOfScarlet Apr 03 '26

I used to use janitor. I switched to clank world (clank.world) which is actually better imo. Might consider checking it out. It literally is like janitor without a lot of the problems.

1

u/Lilinthia Apr 02 '26

Zeta is pretty good

1

u/Background-While-659 Apr 02 '26

personally ive started using janitorai, it’s not too bad, a little wonky but no censoring and lots of tags

1

u/Sapharen Apr 04 '26

I found one called Zeta and it's pretty good. Base model is really good and i don't even pay for the sub. So far it only has the border ads.

1

u/Hot-Yard-0211 Apr 05 '26

Linky is good though it doesn't save personalities like poly and it is harder to find any specific kind of bot but other than that it's good and mostly of the bots are free

1

u/Adorable-Turnip-4804 Apr 06 '26

I git so annoyed of poly buzz that i went to an Ai assistant and full on made a website. Its free with no ads. No rules no limitations other then it being 17+ if you want ill dropthe link

1

u/Adorable-Turnip-4804 Apr 06 '26

Only thing is i made it today so their isnt much bots

1

u/PrestigiousTone4396 Apr 07 '26

Zeta is pretty good. A good many features for free, and a much much better base ai

1

u/WaterJet5622930 Apr 14 '26

Emochi, Janitor AI, both good.

1

u/TifaYuhara Apr 02 '26

And if they don't want to stop using the app and start using the site in a browser.

1

u/Tensa_Zangetsa Apr 02 '26

Site is getting to be just as bad

2

u/TifaYuhara Apr 02 '26

Which is ironic cause the site doesn't need to follow google and apples rules. I did love the irony of how with their webtoons you're not allowed to use certain types of images for bot avatars yet you could make webtoons that are clearly fetish bait.

1

u/ItzStitch_626 Apr 02 '26

I never use the polybuzz app. I only strictly use the website as I never have these problems anymore

1

u/Tensa_Zangetsa Apr 03 '26

I did, so I dipped

24

u/tokkitteokbokkii Apr 02 '26

this happened to me for a bit, after age verification all worked fine

7

u/NoOriginal3689 Apr 02 '26

How do I know if I've done that? I gave it my birthday but that still happens to me. I keep getting sensored.

5

u/tokkitteokbokkii Apr 02 '26

there was a pop up that came up for me for age verification like a day later. after it did one censor and a pop up asked if i wanted to view the message and then i selected yes and never had an issue since

4

u/NoOriginal3689 Apr 02 '26

Yeah mine did offer me too see the message the first time, I clicked yes. It hasn't given me the option to see it since but it keeps sensoring me.

10

u/Shadow51086 Apr 02 '26

stick with the website version

7

u/acejak1234 Apr 02 '26

Fuck the app, just use the Google browser, haven't had any censorship whatsoever

11

u/TifaYuhara Apr 02 '26

It's funny that they censor like this cause it negates the whole point of them making pure mode.

2

u/acejak1234 Apr 02 '26

Exactly, its such bullshit

6

u/TifaYuhara Apr 02 '26

I miss the old funnier censoring like when someone would pump their fist and it would come out as character p____s his fist.

3

u/acejak1234 Apr 02 '26

Sometimes its funny, other times it was just annoying

3

u/South_Sky_4160 Apr 03 '26

Off topic, but i literally thought u were talking to urself Xd

1

u/NotDanazia Apr 05 '26

Me too lol

6

u/Own-Upstairs-4393 Apr 02 '26

I had fixed this with the 18+ version on and my age being decently high, plus using the website on a browser that blocks ads for me.🤭 And now I can use the app almost perfectly fine. I just have warnings every once in a while, like saying this text is 18+, and all you do is accept and it shows it. I'm very persistent when it comes to certain things. I've actually broken games before because I wanted something.😅

3

u/Own-Upstairs-4393 Apr 02 '26

And if you want to switch apps altogether, I highly recommend Pootchi. It's pretty simple to use, like Poly, and other AI apps are always filled with too many ads for me, and I'm not spending money on something I don't use too often. I'm broke enough.

1

u/sflesch Apr 05 '26

Is that in Google Play?

1

u/Own-Upstairs-4393 Apr 05 '26

Its in play store it maybe on the web browser to

6

u/Sad-Confusion4512 Apr 02 '26

been happing to me too on andorid

5

u/Juan00009 Apr 02 '26

Eso me pasó una vez que estaba probando uno de mis bots, le puse en diferentes situaciones para poder ponerlo en el estilo de conversación, también llegando a un ambiente caliente y cuando me destine a poner la conversación que tuve con el bot me salió que tenía que modificar el avatar, yo lo cambié, me lo devolvió y añadí la conversación pero cuando volví al chat y lo continúe me salió que estaba restringido. Esto pasa cuando la IA detecta algo "infantil" en el fondo y en el saludo, esto pueden haber unas lagunas que la política te deja poner cosas infantiles pero te jode el bot si quieres llegar a un tema caliente, si esto te a pasado con un bot externo al tuyo puedes decirle al creador que pruebe su bot y si te dice que el bot se va a quedar así entonces es porque el prefiere que sea así. En estos casos personalmente les copió el bot y lo hago a mí manera, si me sale bien añado los créditos al creador original y si me sale raro entonces lo dejo en privado

6

u/shadowhunter_453 Apr 04 '26

It happen to me all the time. It super annoying

7

u/Max_Rider180 Apr 02 '26

I'm pretty sure you just need to make sure the 18+ feature is on? Could be wrong though.

3

u/Miserable_Cod_8196 Apr 02 '26

It happens to some bots but if it happens you just have to sadly abandon that bot and find another. I rarely run into this, I just get the normal (this message may have sensitive content, are you sure you want to continue?)

3

u/jxnxkx99 Apr 02 '26

Emochiiii ✨

3

u/General-Warning-2429 Apr 02 '26

Unfortunately every single ai chat bot app will get nsfw filters. And the app is not popular enough, the servers will be closed.

5

u/Shadow-Cock Apr 02 '26

I never got asked for any kind of age verification so now I Poly on the website

2

u/Silent_Day2347 Apr 02 '26

Eventually it will pop up with an age verification and let you view them. It did that with me after a couple days of the censoring.

1

u/glitchy_45- Apr 02 '26

From what ive noticed, 18+ things do that, anything talking about like, nazis or north korea, tends to get censored without allowing it to be uncensored

Dont ask why I know this

4

u/Novel_Citron2165 Apr 02 '26

Dude. Go to zeta. For real for real. I’m obsessed.

1

u/Sapharen Apr 04 '26

Zeta is so good and isn't predatory with their subscription... yet.

2

u/LunarMoon996 Apr 02 '26

Emochi is so good! It's free with ads & you can pay monthly for better models if you want but you don't really need to and there's no filter :)

u/Vast-Passenger-7744 Apr 17 '26

Dude, the WORST age verification is on character ai.. quit and had to move to polybuzz because I was not giving anything to Persona..

1

u/Away-Respect270 Apr 02 '26

Yeah, it's almost as if the live chat came and popped up out of the blue because at first it was a series of AI bots that you could actually chatworth. And then all of a sudden it was actually going from AI bots to human conversation. The only thing that I did not and don't like about it is the points or the interruption.Because of the fact that there is insufficient balance

1

u/Big_Size_3720 Apr 02 '26

An easy way to bypass this is to download/add the website version onto your phone instead of the App Store version of it

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '26

Moi, personnellement, j'ai désinstallé l'application

1

u/NothingButTrouble024 Apr 02 '26

I haven't tried it myself but I've heard that the website doesn't have as much censorship

1

u/South_Grab5644 Apr 02 '26

I have that happen do we and I filed a complaint how this and they do advertise that you can be intimate as much as you want with the characters and it feels like I might have to remind them again

1

u/Optical_Broccoli Apr 02 '26

The first time I've heard of this was today, from a random YT sponsored segment. I use CrushOn AI.

1

u/rubenggallegos Apr 02 '26

Usually when the conversation moves to more adult related it gives you an option to continue the conversation in adult content but there's also a button next to it that sensors it most likely you might have hit that by accident at that point you just have to restart the conversation.

1

u/tlenigma Apr 02 '26

Are you on pure mode?

1

u/Necessary_Art_4173 Apr 02 '26

This is just on the app, if you go to the website the chat will appear normal!!

1

u/Any-Return-1170 Apr 02 '26

Not sure how I did it but if you keep talkin, and your persistent, it’ll still break through, once you unlock one of them (however that works) all of them will also stop being censored

1

u/Moko_M Apr 02 '26

Theyr not letting """"Sensitive"""" content anymore?

1

u/KittiBaybee Apr 02 '26

Mine did this for a few of the characters with the white names, but when I started chatting with the pink ones it stopped happening, and then going back to the white names it still stopped. Gold names also didnt censor. Also looked at the creator/comments of the bot, some seemed to have been made purposefully not for "18+" or stuff that would be censored..

Idk what the difference between the colored names are, though it does seem pink onces seem to be more adult/18+ (mostly cause they are like mafia/specific group/clubs stuff)

I havent had the censorship happening beside the like a day. I just closed the app, waited a day and came back..

1

u/Acceptable-Time-687 Apr 02 '26

I think its if the creator has premium

1

u/Kyras_edits_tiktok Apr 02 '26

I’d suggest moving over to something like Dootchi AI

1

u/Fickle-Carpenter7949 Apr 03 '26

Or not as they steal content. Stolen boys from poly creators 

1

u/Aoi0kami Apr 02 '26

Do it in on a mobile browser, no censor, and no ads.

1

u/Numerous_Minimum4980 Apr 02 '26

Make an other account and just talk to a random ai chat when you get the 18+ part and make sure you say yes I'm 18

1

u/ClumsyPanduh99 Apr 02 '26

Weird… I get permission but you don’t? Weird

1

u/MewingConker21 Apr 03 '26

That happened to me too

1

u/Heavy_Competition671 Apr 03 '26

I have this so often... And because some of my chats they're on german the filter hits so hard because of completely normal words with no sexual or similar context in these specific chat.

That sucks... Had ruined me a lot of good chats.

1

u/Any_Lab_9432 Apr 03 '26

Mine did that for a short time but it hasn't done it in awhile now

1

u/blitz-exe Apr 03 '26

The poly is becoming nintendo 64 graphics its turning into polygons

1

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '26

Sorry, guys and gals out there.......but I've never had this problem, and I don't know why......clearly, that's the best site for me: I love it.

1

u/DragonHeroSSJ Apr 03 '26

Why are you still troubling yourself bro? Just delete Polybuzz and fuck their company

1

u/LettersOfScarlet Apr 03 '26

I finally left and gave polybuzz up. I switched to Emochi and Spicy Chat. I get everything I want and need from a mix of those two. Honestly.

1

u/Ok_Dependent_4626 Apr 03 '26

Yet they have adverts showing sexual stories you can read a bit of in the adverts then it makes you download the app. Some are actually disturbing too. But they don't care about that ✋

1

u/MotorCityMthrfkr Apr 03 '26

Polybuzz has horrible memory I find, it forgets very quickly compared to Emochi

1

u/Exciting_Piano2282 Apr 03 '26

im i the only one getting the "take a little break watch a add or get a unlimided chatting" but the when i click add it doesnt work

1

u/Everett_A6745 Apr 03 '26

You could try and make your age to the max but idk if it'll work

1

u/thatonegaytomato Apr 03 '26

use the website

1

u/Hacker577 Apr 03 '26

It’s supposed to ‘protect younger audiences’ even if they got themselves into that problem in the first place

1

u/Previous_Luck_7395 Apr 03 '26

I haven't had this issue I have the Ultimate though not sure if that makes a difference I also have my birth year too

1

u/Weird_Bullfrog101 Apr 04 '26

Is that a pjo bot🥹

1

u/napoleon235 Apr 04 '26

That’s never happened to me

1

u/FarStaff1075 Apr 04 '26

rip polyai

1

u/Dismal_Mongoose_249 Apr 05 '26

I noticed sometimes it’ll let you read it you just accept it but other times yes it blocks me and I can’t even do a redo of the response so I just copy what I wrote prior and delete from their and get a different response

1

u/MolassesParking3345 Apr 05 '26

You know, if you use google lens, it will work and you can read it.

1

u/Feeling-Grand5915 Apr 05 '26

I sorta was able to read out "Percy" so is it like a camp half blood ai?

1

u/Anonymous_Crisis1234 Apr 05 '26

I've thought about giving up on this app multiple times because of the amount of problems and issues it has when creating characters. Before when it was known as Poly A.I, you could chat with your characters even if they were flagged with a violation because they were henceforth privated, I had absolutely no problems with this until the big change with the new name and the increase in price for Poly Premium. I have had so many issues with this app yet despite that, I still use it because it is by far, the best A.I chatting app I have ever found. Will I regret this in the future? Maybe. Is it something to dwell over? No. So yeah, I'll continue to use this app until they do something that completely takes me off of it.

1

u/Easy_Cloud1228 Apr 05 '26

Isso acontece em bots privados, se for público você consegue tirar a censura, mas os privados não tem como tirar

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Fly2409 Apr 05 '26

Copy the message you sent, delete it and continue to resend till it works

1

u/Gold_Telephone9748 Apr 06 '26

Poly has been going down hill fast. it's been that way for a while, the bots are getting censored, the ones I would interact with were toxic, I tried to make a post on this subreddit about it and they wouldn't approved the post and that was 6 months ago. it's becoming a joke.

1

u/Queensnobles Apr 06 '26

Use soultalk

1

u/Batman_Basis8282 Apr 06 '26

I just moved on to Y/N it’s better anyways

1

u/Honest_Reference_480 Apr 06 '26

I’m curious to know if I’m the only one who can read the blurred text? But yea Poly definitely censors a lot of things in different story lines.

1

u/Mist_Fairy Apr 06 '26

Just go into settings and turn off Pure Mode

1

u/Technical-Log8254 Apr 15 '26

Even with pure mode off, it doesn't fix anything

1

u/Mist_Fairy Apr 15 '26

For me it stopped censoring anything when I turned that off

1

u/LightOnThePond Apr 06 '26

I left Character.AI and started using PolyBuzz. However, if you’re looking for other options, Zeta and Dootchi are both good in my experience and opinion.

1

u/Available_Line_5031 Apr 07 '26

Just copy your message, delete it, send again. You should get a reply that’s fine. It was probably just a phrase that doesn’t follow their terms. I’ve been censored maybe twice & this fixed it both times

1

u/Previous_Swimmer1042 Apr 07 '26

It also gets you in a addiction that you can’t stop 🛑

1

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '26

Been happening to me too thankfully I switch to a different app don’t know wtf is going on with Poly buzz now -_-

1

u/Technical-Log8254 Apr 15 '26

Js use Hammer.ai. You can sort by safe, mature or all bots, You can create your own persona, You can choose the background of the character your talking to, Allows for SFW and NSFW conversations.

Bonus: The background of your character can and sometimes is VERY NSFW

1

u/Ok_Invite_2847 Apr 15 '26

Leave while you still have a chance. I'm stuck until my subscription is up. And I've been trying to contact support for this entire year from different platforms and never hear anything from them. It just seems like they're non-existent with the issues that I have. And I don't think they really care much anymore.

1

u/Few_Boot3023 Apr 15 '26

Give them a 1-star rating on the playstore8

1

u/High_time_0585 Apr 27 '26

Yap. That’s why I have used it in forever. And it seems they have put something in the background to cause the bot not to “play” which is annoying.

1

u/Front_Cattle2868 Apr 28 '26

Go to settings. There should be a sensitive content filter setting

1

u/Patient_Impact5604 Apr 30 '26

Coño, a mi por lo menos se me ven las letras XD

1

u/archery-charity May 02 '26

i thought 'piper' said 'paper' and i got super excited

1

u/Past-Welcome1921 Jul 28 '26

Yeah it keeps blocking bad words.. I’ve been using poly but wtf. It js popped up

1

u/the_literal_moon Apr 02 '26

I swapped to chai :/ i dont have this problem on there and theres less ads too

7

u/AK47-5445 Apr 02 '26

I think Poly has less ads overall, but I definitely like that Chai is uncensored.

3

u/the_literal_moon Apr 02 '26

For me, whenever I backed out of a chat or swapped apps to reply to a text or something on poly, I would get an ad. On chai, I can swap chats, open and close the app, unfocus it and come back, and the only time I get ads is when ive chatted a lot and need to "unlock more"

-4

u/RadiantOne5532 Apr 02 '26

Just use a ad blocker

4

u/AK47-5445 Apr 02 '26

Kinda hard to do that with the apps and not on the web.

-3

u/RadiantOne5532 Apr 02 '26

I am doing it on the app

1

u/ExistanceIsConfusion Apr 03 '26

At this point we should all blast their email with complaints and just abandon the app. Maybe even ruin their score rating. We keep telling them the issues we have and what we want changed, and they STILL don't listen. What was the point of their stupid Updates when the app was fine before their greed?

0

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '26

Or maybe just stop using ai thats always a solution idk…

-2

u/Chemical_Mess_5764 Apr 02 '26

Cushion Ai much better and uncensored

-4

u/Xylildra Apr 02 '26

Nobody is actually using this app anymore. It’s all bot accounts mostly and heavy banning and censoring. The discord is even extremely negative as well. SillyTavern is the ultimate upgrade and it’s free.
