c.ai's discord server is BAD (my experience)

Hello again! :3

What I'm about to tell you all here is my truthful experience about the character.ai's Discord server up until today, when I decided to leave the server for good. I'm also adding that I'm in ASD, so I don't always get certain dynamics, no matter if they're online or irl. 

1. the beginning

Even though I've been using the service since 2023 purely for entertainment purposes, I only joined the server on April or May of 2026. Even though I've been using the service since 2023 purely for entertainment purposes, I only joined the server on April or May of 2026. 

I was happy to join... But since I don't use Discord that much, I didn't really know much about its culture and the server's. At first, everything was okay but right on the 1st day, I was placed on a 7d timeout by the AutoMod for speaking about the account I was using (one I use for big servers instead of my personal one, pretty normal). :S

2. the incidents

Okay... I tried asking a mod to remove this bc it was an accident. I went to sleep and the time out was removed the next day. But the mods never said anything and they're usually very unresponsive. T-T

Then people had the tendency to dogpile on you if you had a different opinion... sometimes just about fandoms. ToT

And bc it's so fast paced, it's hard to explain your side + casual text not being able to express the tone you're using. 

I remember a dude being also dogpiled on bc of a minimal thing about his favourite fandom and he was dogpiled on while I kept trying to defend him bc he had no one to be on his side and I understood what he was coming from. A mod was pinged on that channel and he was unfairly banned, but not the 10+ people that were bullying him.

I was put on a 24h time out for random reasons. I still don't know why that happened... The mods are weird. :V

I reached for him, talked a bit with him on DM and then helped him get unbanned the next day. 

3. people are weird

Gen 1 was usually chaotic and disgusting. Gen 2 was more chill, but I still rolled my eyes at some stuff people sometimes used to write. c.ai discussion was either a bunch of incessant complaints or people being off topic. 

Also, a lot of times people don't even chat properly... they don't fully engage, ig. But this is just my pov.

Finding Naruto fans was hard. Especially good quality fans. T-T

I don't want to discuss power scales or flex my age or whatever. 

Often, I just want to yap about how Tobirama's paperwork obsession is a dedicated hobby and a method of self torture.

Also, Hashirama loves trees. :D

4. The mods don't do shit

There could be 4 or 5 mods online (fully online, idle or don't disturb), yet I usually just saw 2 more active ones. 

Sometimes they responded to pings. Sometimes they didn't. I also had a mod threaten me kinda... as in type in a very condescending way but also in a warning bc I wanted answers from him for my unfair time out and I to unban the dude (mentioned above).

5. Finally left, bye lol

Today, 13 of June of 2026, I finally left that cursed server. 

I feel... better actually. :D

Sadly, as much as I liked c.ai, I also can't use it anymore due to age verification, some I won't do for an entertainment/AI company. California laws shouldn't apply outside the US.

The only good part about this whole mess is that I made a nice friend actually. :3
And she likes Naruto, in her own way.
