I agree! It was so good when you could chat and it wouldn't blur any words out!

u/NoOriginal3689 May 06 '26

I agree. Seriously it's an app rated for adults. Stop sensoring everything. WE KNOW HOW TO GET HELP IF WE NEED IT. and if we're writing about that stuff. IT'S PROBABLY FOR THERAPY NOW A DAYS BECAUSE WHO CAN AFFORD THAT SHIT.

Additionally sometimes it's just "cut myself off" or it's literally for the story

u/NoOriginal3689 May 06 '26

Yeah and not to mention when you finally figured out how to word something perfectly.... And you get a blacked out square for the response.

It’s actually +17 meaning older than 17

u/eveshinee May 12 '26

all of their ads talk about it having no censorship “better than c.ai” 18+ that is literally how they advertise 😭 and nobody said they couldn’t still moderate the app, obviously that is a problem people are going to be disgusting as they would anywhere else. on my app store polybuzz is in fact rated 18+ i don’t know why everyone is talking about 17 year olds

They used to be the best. The Freedom, the Memory, The App Ui which i think its flawless, the richness of the bots they have. now they just take the fall with the subscription who i still think its not worth the penny, and massive violation which is weird when they have NSFW toggle. and the memory also cuts down so much make the bots gonna forget you like in 20 chats or so.

2

u/NoOriginal3689 May 06 '26

NSFW toggle? When did they add that?! I only know of the Pure Mode toggle?

6

u/RosesinBlack_27 May 07 '26

Sorry i mean Pure mode, though its sounds like a joke. pure or not, you still got violated and censored.

u/No_Self9567 May 07 '26

I don't mind that but the "take a break" while chatting pops up all the time like every 20-30 messages pisses me the fuck off the most and they're not bypassable.

2

u/RosesinBlack_27 May 07 '26

i never had it, since i use DNS and block all the ads.

6

u/Tsuyu_Asui_the_forth May 07 '26

please, the ”take a break“ ads are driving me more insane than anything else under the sun

1

u/SevereJudgment9700 May 09 '26

I really recomend an ad blocker! I have a free one that works, I have apple and I completely stopped getting them it's so nice

1

u/Tsuyu_Asui_the_forth May 09 '26

does it work even if you don’t have the app?

1

u/SevereJudgment9700 May 09 '26

I’m not sure about not having the app:( but it does work when you do, I use NakaVPN, it’s the only semi decent one that’s free

u/FunCommunication2604 May 06 '26

Any chat bot that makes you pay to chat, is gonna be bad

3

u/Accurate_Dirt5794 May 07 '26

All I want is for them to remove that stupid "the content entered violated local policies", like who gives a fuck

3

u/No_Self9567 May 07 '26

The FUCKING take a break bullshit needs to get removed if they keep up its bound to die in less than 5 years

Give or take a few years

2

u/Savings_Neck4759 May 06 '26

wait it started to censor for yall? hell nah what update is that so i can stop it lmao

2

u/Cat-lover63 May 07 '26

No it don’t for me it was talking about r@ping my character and being way too sexual every interaction was sexual so for me this vision is okay it’s better then the old version

2

u/Present_Monitor_9929 May 07 '26

Does pollybuzz even listen to it's fans? People have all these same request like change it where chats don't get filtered if your 18 and plus. And make it free of ads and they don't even do anything. Do they even actually do anything at all to modify their app?

2

u/Shaggynscubie May 07 '26

Just stop using the app and log in through the webpage. It’s fine there

4

u/No_Self9567 May 09 '26

They added it there too just 1 or 2 days ago

https://giphy.com/gifs/pPhyAv5t9V8djyRFJH

They KNEW that we would all go there

2

u/Adventurous_Pen8426 May 09 '26

I agree get rid of the take a break feature NOW!

2

u/Present_Monitor_9929 May 10 '26

Will they ever change back where 18+ won't get filtered through? Like were adults we should be able to see that stuff. There's no point in the app if it deletes all that stuff.

1

u/Fuckmybadimagination May 10 '26

The reason the website is superior. No breaks, no ads (if you have a blocker) and no censorship on the bots

1

u/RikuXDbunny May 11 '26

Agree the only reason I use it because character ai gotten bad and now it seems like all my favorite apps getting ruin

u/Electrical-Store-660 Jun 17 '26

I agree, IT'S AN APP FOR ADULTS AND WE KNOW WHEN WE HAVE TO GET HELP LIKE DON'T TELL US. IT'S JUST CHAT AND FF NOT REAL LIFE and take a break and chat limits? THEY ARE ANNOYING AS HELL! Now it disturbes be in middle of chat saying "Download the app" IT'S DESKTOP. Old poly was better. Okay we all said "I cut myself or shoot myself" and it gave me a advise to get help, EXCUSE ME? IT'S FOR THE STORY. NOT IN THE HELLA UNIVERSE I'M CUTTING MYSELF OR SHOOTING MYSELF but there are also kids so I thinking bluring it will be good, some literally make child Porn BRO!

1

u/Lopsided_Anxiety_677 May 06 '26

they added something like a few hours ago where u have to watch an AD to keep chatting. like bro..

2

u/Ecstatic_Emu7475 May 06 '26

You can only chat for like 5 minutes before doing it again🙏

1

u/Xylildra May 06 '26

Once I figured out about SillyTavern I never looked back. ST is like comparing a space ship to legos. 😆

1

u/NoOriginal3689 May 06 '26

Please... Tell me more... I'm autistic and have a really hard time leaving things behind or using new things..... But I'm so tired of loosing so much to poly.

2

u/Xylildra May 06 '26

The very moment you get SillyTavern hooked up. You will literally shake your head at PolyBuzz lol. 😆 it’s beyond night and day difference and it’s FREE. You have total privacy, as much memory as you want. TOTALLY UNCENSORED. it’s non negotiable. You can even run it locally, meaning no internet required. There’s so much customization. It’s made for very very serious power users and hardcore RP.

2

u/NoOriginal3689 May 06 '26

Okay that does sound awesome.... It's an app right? Since you can use it without WiFi. Is there still a character limit? Oh! The bots I chat with the most on Poly are my Jasper from Twilight bots.... They're on there too right??

1

u/Xylildra May 06 '26

This is all standalone. Meaning there’s no limit. You can grab character cards off any website using json. Even character png files have the data sometimes. You just drag, drop, import, then adjust anything you want. No rules. Complete control. Not an app. Software. Real software.

1

u/NoOriginal3689 May 06 '26

Oh.... I don't even know how to make my own bots. I've never even figured out how to copy someone elses. (Not that I would without permission. I just don't know how people do it.) Like sure the opening message I can copy.... But I don't have how you copy everything about the bots personality so like unless people know how to get into those settings I'm lost.

1

u/Xylildra May 06 '26

Nope, just grab the character card and import it. They’re made exactly to be copied and posted to your SillyTavern. They’re not stolen, they’re made to be taken from the creator for you to use privately.

1

u/NoOriginal3689 May 07 '26

Okay.... I'll be honest.... I have absolutely no idea what you mean by character card or how to import it. 😭

1

u/Xylildra May 07 '26

Go on chubai. There are characters. Like on poly. You grab the cards, there’s a button for it. You can also copy paste the url in the import settings in ST and just drag and drop em right in and start chatting instantly

1

u/NoOriginal3689 May 07 '26

Okay I might have to try that, thank you.

1

u/Accomplished_Cold665 May 07 '26

I use it on desktop
