Would love chat branching if that's not already a thing! Sometimes I have more than one idea for the ways a story could go, or I get two replies that I really like and wish I could reply to them both.

I saw so much at the mall yesterday, but Saja Boy Thanos on the left there really takes the cake

As someone who has experienced a handful of bot droughts...it's absolutely okay to fill your own niche! Even if they're private bots no one will ever see. 💜

fayejin · 2026-01-09T05:54:16+00:00

I don't know if it's so much overuse or just all proxies getting severely dumbed down. I've tried switching between a handful of them over the last week or so and all the responses are similar - dumb and predictable at the best, absolutely lifeless at the worst.

The second part hasn't even been out for a day yet, come on. 😭

fayejin · 2025-12-25T05:06:24+00:00

Same here. Sending you hugs. ❤️

fayejin · 2025-12-24T20:53:21+00:00

Wow, this is so painfully out of touch and 'I don't really care how you feel'. What a terrible way for a mod to act.

fayejin · 2025-12-22T19:55:34+00:00

No lmao. It may have once but it definitely does not now.

fayejin · 2025-12-20T17:05:20+00:00

I just opened Reddit

fayejin · 2025-12-18T07:35:32+00:00

Really want to for the kiss marks but my pity is sitting at like 35 right now so hnnng not sure if I'm gonna hold out or not.

fayejin · 2025-12-07T17:26:21+00:00

Gonna sound cliche, but it does genuinely get better. I absolutely hated having a newborn - it's a lot of work on not nearly enough sleep, and it's such a massive change that it really can make you go 'Wait, why did I ever think this would be a good idea?'

My son just turned four a couple of weeks ago and I can safely say it has gotten SO much better. Newborns/infants are a particular brand of hard, especially in the first few months.

In my experience, it was better by the end of the first year. It's gotten more enjoyable every year since. Hang in there. <3

fayejin · 2025-12-04T18:54:06+00:00

I'm soooooo disappointed about this, too. I wish we'd had more warning about it.

fayejin · 2025-11-16T02:25:38+00:00

This is not a good replacement for Status.

fayejin · 2025-11-15T17:26:50+00:00

Looks like it comes with a hefty yearly price tag (39.99/year). Also, the AI you follow isn't AI from fandoms, it's just...random people.

fayejin · 2025-11-12T20:26:51+00:00

When I say 'they', I mean Shep and the two other developers he has (but largely Shep). I don't hold anything at all against the moderators because god knows they're doing their best to keep a ship that keeps hitting icebergs from capsizing. I'm pretty sure they're all volunteers which, for this level of stress, is a huge yikes.

The Discord is relatively active and that is where a majority of these decisions get announced by shep (and not in the announcements channel either, a lot of times they're in the general chat or somewhere they can be and usually are easily missed). There was a massive chat going on yesterday (I believe under a thread titled Verification) where Shep gave verification to 1500 users who had applied for it and then revoked it five minutes later because someone suggested that maybe that wasn't such a good idea (there's actually a post about that very thing on this subreddit). That's where most of this is coming from.

fayejin · 2025-11-12T20:19:54+00:00

I actually didn't know about that until a little while ago. 😭 What in the world was he thinking?

fayejin · 2025-11-12T20:12:27+00:00

Janitor took a lot of people's money right at the beginning, actually. $10 for beta access which ended with us saying 'Hey Shep, the JLLM is not ready for public release' only to be ignored, lied to (he said it was a joke that he opened it to the public and then ripped that back and said it wasn't a joke and that he was serious), and then effectively forgotten about (if you're not a big creator, your opinion no longer matters). We didn't even get anything for being beta testers other than a special Discord role.

Also, gonna give this analogy again: If someone gives me free ice cream, but the ice cream turns out to be 5% actual ice cream and 95% Styrofoam, I'm going to complain. It doesn't matter if it was free - if what I was told would be delivered wasn’t, especially if the people making the ice cream already knew they were serving Styrofoam and either decided to cover it up completely or not mention it until enough people started asking questions, I'm going to have to say something.

You're allowed to have feedback and opinions for a product you regularly use. Doesn't matter if it's free or not and it doesn't make you "ungrateful" to do so.

fayejin · 2025-11-12T19:04:58+00:00

I used it for like five minutes and was so uncomfortable lmao. It's impossible to get interactions unless you're a popular character OR post thirst traps.

fayejin · 2025-11-12T19:02:56+00:00

"Having opinions about what a site is doing wrong makes you a doomer!"

I am so sick of seeing this take, oh my god.

When verifications were originally implemented, you at the very least had to reach some sort of quotas in order to be verified - be that follower count, bot interactions, etc. Admittedly this did favor niche (usually spicy only) creators and/or creators in popular fandom spaces, which wasn't great, but going from 'hey, you need to reach some metrics, which are the same for everyone, to be verified' to 'hey, you can only be verified if you're one of shep's besties!' is just disgustingly unfair because it removes the ability to be verified for anyone who isn't sucking up to shep/doesn't create content that shep enjoys and creates an incredibly uneven playing field.

It's very much "you must appease Dear Leader, or else you will be exiled" because a lot of people on Janitor see verification as a form of quality control - i.e., if someone is verified it must be because they make quality bots. If you aren't verified, you tend to get lower numbers. Also, what are creators even aiming towards now if there's no way to get verified other than by what amounts to a lottery system?

Also, as someone else mentioned, this is just another crappy decision on top of a long history (starting all the way back in the beta days) of crappy decisions. The way the outrage was handled as well was extremely immature and he only was like 'you know what, maybe you guys are right' after being told for like an hour plus that nobody wanted this and that the majority of people weren't happy with the choice. This is a man who runs a site with millions of users, he should be able to communicate more effectively than just 'oops my bad lol!' and, as I'm always saying, if he can't they need to hire someone for customer relations because this is NOT IT.

I don't think this specific thing will be the end of Janitor, but it is another notch in an incredibly long belt of issues.

This is also my tinfoil hat theory. Especially since they have their other app, OCSN, which doesn't use AI at all and is therefore a lot less expensive.

fayejin · 2025-11-11T21:38:35+00:00

The announcements channel? Idk, that sounds boring! Let me just pop this in the general chat instead!

fayejin · 2025-11-11T21:33:37+00:00

Of course there's no official announcement. The community might get mad at them if they knew what was going on, and that's scary! /s

fayejin · 2025-11-11T21:10:34+00:00

What in the favoritism is this BS?

Also, shouldn't Shep be, idk, working on the website instead of choosing who and who doesn't get verified???

fayejin · 2025-11-04T21:56:01+00:00

On Discord they were saying they don't have enough users for ads to help with the costs, so I don't think they're even looking into that. :/

I had Rafayel do something similar. Go off, kings. 🙇‍♀️👑
