I, like many others, used to be an enthusiastic user of Character.ai. This online platform provided us with a unique platform to connect, collaborate, and innovate. However, since Character.ai made the decision to abandon their original site design and remove legacy logins, the user experience has noticeably deteriorated. We, its dedicated community, wholeheartedly believe that these changes are detrimental and ask for their reversal.

The legacy login, dear to many of us, was more than a feature - it was a navigation element that connected us with the essence of the platform. It was simple, direct and understood by many. Its removal has not only complicated the access but also disconnected many users from the simplicity they admired in Character.ai.

Simultaneously, the overly strict filtering system seems to have constrained the essence of open dialogue that Character.ai once supported. Many users feel their voices are being suppressed as the system increasingly flags benign messages and comments.

According to a user-engagement study by the Nielsen Norman Group, a sudden or radical change in a website's design or navigation can disrupt the user's learned behaviors and lead to a drop in user satisfaction. Likewise, forcing stricter filters can create an artificial communication barrier and diminish user satisfaction.

By bringing back the old website design and relaxing the filters, Character.ai can send a strong message to its users — that their voice matters. By doing so, Character.ai can rebuild trust, foster community engagement, and reaffirm the platform's commitment to open dialogue and user satisfaction.

Let's convince Character.ai to preserve its legacy, reinstate the old site, restore the legacy login and loosen the filtering system. Please sign this petition to show your support for returning Character.ai to the user-friendly platform we all miss.
