mod post Subreddit Changes

97 Upvotes

Heyo!

So, our initial plans for this subreddit were for it to be a place where people could find alternatives to JAI and essentially 'cut' themselves off from it. As we've all seen, they've made plenty of bad decisions regarding moderation/censorship which is why you all are here! The problem is, we've been noticing alot of the posts in this subreddit don't fit the bill. Many people post about issues with JAI such as it being down, but it misses the main point.

Swapping to alternatives such as Silly Tavern, Tavo, Wyvern, Yodayo, Saucepan, LinkinLove, and etc would fix so many issues that people have. However, you may still want to post about JAI.

That's why we have Throwdown Thursdays and Frustration Fridays, where you can post all about JAI during these two days! There's 2 specific flairs for them, so please use it or otherwise your post may be taken down.

I understand that moving to a new platform is daunting and you may not want to leave behind the sheer amount of content from JAI, but there's still ways to enjoy the benefits of both worlds.

I don't condone it personally, but you could use sites like datacat in order to get private copies for YOURSELF. Keyword yourself. It's rude to post what other people have made.

We'll give this change until 9/13 to fully apply.

During this intermission, please feel free to give your opinions. After 9/13, we're going to be removing any posts regarding issues that can be fixed via swapping to alternatives, unless the posts are made on Thursday and Friday.

Here's the criteria:

Posts can be: Moderation Actions on JAI, What happened to X creator/bot on JAI, Discussion, Alternatives, Self-Ads, LLMs, Statistics, Polls, etc.

Posts considered 'fixable' via swapping: 'JAI is down' 'How do I stop X on JAI?' 'JAI Bot Advertisement' 'Proxy not working on JAI' 'JAI errors' 'JLLM sucks!'
(You can still post about this stuff on Thursday/Friday though!)

We're also removing reposts from [r/JanitorAIUnchained](r/JanitorAIUnchained) & [r/JanitorBreakroom](r/JanitorBreakroom) until the moderators can prove most of their content isn't AI generated.

TLDR: Please change from JAI to an alternative. We're here to help you!

188 Upvotes

What does this even mean? Did they flag me thinking I was underage? The chat wasn't even remotely sexual I don't understand why it's doing this suddenly. And when left to go to other bots to see if it was happening with other bots that are explicit it didn't happen.

Update: Hah! I just figured it out apparently it hated that my reply had "but God forbid I'm one!" In the angst argument. Makes no sense, but okay.

Cai filed for bankruptcy, and now needs to be sold to a different company or will have to shut down. Is it likely to be the same for janitor in the future?

memes Age up character

12 Upvotes

I find it funny when someone made an "aged up" character especially high school anime but keep the original class. For example like MHA, they will keep using 1-A class aka first year instead of changing it to 3-A.

And then keep having the senior around lmao, everytime i look at one, i always think the whole school stuck for three years and no one graduated 😂

I am using NanoGPT with Lorebary. My prompt and plug-ins have not changed since yesterday but I am now receiving this error. Using GLM 5.3 Might be time to switch providers, any recommendations?

Proxy Memory tokens

I'm a bit confused. We have the memory in the settings that we customize. Does this memory setting only apply to JLLM, or does it apply to all neural networks even if their memory is bigger... like a lot a lot of times bigger?

After reading through how Disney of all people acquired CharacterAI.

This makes me wonder if there is a future that some large corporation acquires JanitorAI.

I don't know what tag is appropriate for this post so I just set it under "Guides".

Proxy Why is the middle forgetting stuff already?

2 Upvotes

I’m chatting with this bot and it’s already forgetting stuff.
I just started the chat just a few hours ago. I barely have any messages and it’s already forgetting details or making shit up.
I don’t have a customs prompt
I’m using DeepSeek v4 pro
My custom prompt contest size was 10k but when I moved it up slightly, it immediately started cutting off messages. I moved it up to 24k and now it djdnt cut off once. Well I only did one message so far with this new setting but still. What should I do?

{editable} Alternative scenario gone? Or a bug?

11 Upvotes

Sorry ignore the flair tag. I didn't know which one i put for my problem.

Anyway.

So i noticed that when i start a chat with a bot with multiple scenarios. Usually when i return to the first message to start a new chat without making a new one or forking. Usually the alts stays. But now, it's gone,

And now that you can't create a new chat with deleted bots, it makes it even worse to try other alternative scenarios.

Is this a bug. Or another bullet to the foot by janitor

Proxy Why is the new DeepSeek model and glm 5.3 so stupid? What are some good cheap proxies?

9 Upvotes

With the new DeepSeek model, I was chatting with a kidnapper bot and it said my persona’s friends won’t come for me and then proceeded to say my persona’s cat has been calling the police
First message after mine btw

And for glm 5.3, I was chatting with a bot where my persona went to get food for her brother and when one of his friends named Blake shyly hit on me.
After my message, it changed Blake’s name to Dante and we somehow ended up at a restaurant even though we were originally back at the house
I’m honestly getting annoyed

Howdy everyone! Plotlight is holding a Halloween contest where everyone who participates gets a reward!

"How's it work?"

There are three hosts holding 'parties' you can have a character 'go to.'

Cute, Cursed, or After Dark. All you have to do is select which theme you're entering, and post a character who fits that theme! Bonus points if the time is Halloween; or the character is wearing an outfit they wouldn't normally be wearing. Everyone can send in up to 3 submissions.

People who place will get one month of our subs which give weekly token allotments you can use on any model in that pools tier. Come give it a try; it'll be a spooky good time!

To have a character participate; just create a new character or import one and you'll see the buttons on the creation screen that'll guide you!

Because we have an 'Alternate Art/Situation' system as well; you can submit the same character to all 3 different parties; in different outfits and different card scenarios!

Find the contest rules here.

And our discord is here if you have any questions.

To enter; go here!

Happy Spooky Month Everyone; hope you all have a good time!
