Help.
This new update has me so upset, like literally wanting to cry upset. It was bad enough when the bots were there just blank. We could still continue where we left off by sending a blank message. Now the bots are just GONE. Not even there. I restart conversations with the same bots a lot, and I like to alternate between my fandoms. But to make sure it's the same bots I liked the training on, I would always go back down and restart. Now I can't do that because they're just completely fucking gone. And the character limit! Where did that even come from?! And why?! I literally left polybuzz for chai because the character limit, and now chai decided to implement it? I feel like I'm literally in some weird fucking reality right now.
I'm so angry and so upset and I just feel like the app has spun into its own destruction. This is literally the OPPOSITE of what we were promised, ie, the return of our chats. It feels gross and slimy and like every bit of the hell the world already is that I was using chai to escape from for little bits at a time.
I finally installed an older version and everything is back, but it's disgusting that I had to resort to that because they decided to do the opposite of everything they promised. I have yet to find an alternative to chai that I like, at all. Any with character limitations are automatically out, I like being descriptive and thorough in my responses and limitations destroy that ability. Anything with generic personality bots is out, (including sea share the bots feel way to much like I'm talking to bots, and that's why I appreciate chai, despite the occasional out of characterness it's done better than any other app at staying in character for the bots I rp with. Anything with extremely long droning replies is out, yes I use this for writing inspo, but I don't **always** want four freaking paragraphs for a response. Sometimes it's nice, so anything with a continue feature or a blank message continuance is welcome, as long as they don't break the previous requests. Nothing too heavily sensored, I want nsfw content and some of my stories can get pretty angsty, I'm not going to apologize for that or be told when I'm 32 years old how to talk to a freaking ai.
So please, anyone who has made it this far, and actually cares to offer any alternatives that meet my requested requirements... Please help. I plan on cancelling my subscription before the end of the month, but having an app to go to next month would be great.
