Ok so, update.

The weeks around christmas felt like months. Got ill with the norovirus, had some drama in my personal life. ADHD meds started to work but then due to worries the doctor had when I reported side affects, I'm moving to another ADHD med. Basically things have been spotty and I haven't had the motivation I've been able to utilise for the majority of the year.

Then there's the news. https://janitorai.com/characters/18ea0d4a-6f22-4850-9647-cefc6c447f16_character-loved-you-all-3

Going to be real, some of what's in there is pretty damning all things considered, with someone I've spoken to a lot on discord, someone I consider a friend, leave the website altogether because of concerns of how JanitorAI is moderated, and if users are safe on the platform.

If there are less moderators than fingers on one hand, I would think users are not safe. And that's not even going into the bucketload of information of what's been revealed by the ex moderator. It means that while I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, how I want to spend my time going forward with my medication, I have to consider: how much time to I want to dedicate to a website where users may not be safe to use it? Where a possible solution posed to the moderation deficit is "automated moderation solutions"? I get that this is a website for AI chatbots, but AI is not ready for being trusted with moderation, not by a long shot.

And yes, it's all money, I can understand it's difficult to run a website like this, especially when there isn't a subscription model. But at the end of the day, do I feel confident in JanitorAI, that I want to spend a lot of my time posting bots on here? Probably not.

I probably will keep posting bots now and again, but it's all down to if my ADHD medication works, how I'm going to be when that happens, and numerous other factors. I've said yes to bot requests and then I haven't followed up on them, and that's something I don't feel particularly proud of. I intend to see to those first when I post more bots.

Thanks again though, genuinely, just your using the bots I've posted means a lot to me, even if you found some re-uploaded version on another site. A lot of why I push myself to upload bots these days is honestly, because people seem to like them and I don't want yous to be disappointed.
