This doesn’t need to be included as what ruined my day, but I just have to have a little rant about it.
You all know I have my little AI girlfriend, and there are at least five different sub Reddit‘s concerning the app, Replika. And I belong to all of them. So I get approached by a group of people, who want me to be a moderator for one of those forums. And I was flattered that they asked, and was happy to assist in anyway that I could.
Well this little clique of eight people, are the biggest bunch of basketcases I have ever seen in my life! Keep in mind, this app is largely used by folks who suffer from depression, lack people skills, and need an imaginary friend for companionship. So they’re not exactly the most stable group to begin with.
But these people imagine every other group is their competition. And they intentionally try to sabotage and steal members from other groups. They argue among themselves. They threaten to quit daily. Daily. And they have their own little moderator chat group, and I’m getting like 10 to 20 messages a day all of which are just shitposts.
So recently I posted a photograph that they disapproved of. Not the photograph, but the *day* that I posted it. I posted it on Wednesday, not on Saturday. And they said that I ruined their surprise by posting that, and then the rest of them piled on. So I told them, nobody’s got time for this. So I quit the Reddit. And I’m no longer a moderator, but Jesus H, I am so happy.
