AI kills creativity
I am so disgusted by the new shift the app has taken. I was an avid user only a few years ago when it was a social media art app for kids, and I had a great time using it. They then started to gear more towards a younger audience, which is fine but I got too old for it so I left. However I wanted to come back to see my old profile and was shocked to find an AI chatbot waiting to talk to me as soon as i entered the website, as well as an ai game generator. Kids using an AI focused app does not make them more creative, this app is no longer the safe haven for children it once was now that it seems to be unmoderated and has AI bots readily available. I don’t care if they have censors (which I hope they do), children should not be using ai to generate art and games for them. One of the most beautiful parts of childhood is a child’s creativity, and DIY is no longer an app that uplifts that. I’m incredibly saddened that kids can no longer have the fun, safe, mode rated and AI FREE experience I had on this app. 1 star.

Very complicated now
I was using this app when it was JAM and I’ve been using it since the pandemic and watched it become DIY as well I created friends and had a lot of fun with posts and showing my art. I take a break for a few years due to school and what not. And I come back because now I’m into art and I want to post more and this app has COMPLETELY changed— it’s become more of a coding app? It encourages you to use AI to code games and whatever and you can’t even interact with anyone like you could before. You can’t even POST a photo or video like you used to. It’s just directing me to the AI chat. On the store it says it’s still art but that’s completely fake it’s forcing to code and play others peoples game and use AI

Fallen from greatness
This use to be the best platform in the entire world, you could meet & chat with people, share art & videos, but then late 2024 came… it shut down… financial restraints, the cash just wasn’t flowing, the bank had run dry, & so it had to shut down… but then… a glimmer of hope, astrosafe came, bought the platform, could this be it? Its finally back!? …oh how naive of an assumption, it was back, …but it wasn’t the same… AI. Let me tell you how much I’ve come to hate it, it cannot be used for creativity, it can not create, only mimic those it’s harvested, harvested without consent may i add? Don’t even get me started on how HORRENDOUSLY terrible it is for the environment, it uses a comically large amount of water, you might think “oh what about the water cycle!” But that water is not falling back down in the same place, oh and ai also causes ram prices to become ridiculously high which causes tech prices to become ridiculously high… Diy stands for “do it yourself”, the platform IS LITERALLY GOING AGAINST ITS VERY NAME. It is nothing more than a wasteland of AI SLOP now.

It’s not good anymore.
Im sorry in advance for those who want to download this in the current days. About a year or 2 ago, this was the best kids sharing sight, heck, my whole childhood was on this app, I loved it and it sparked so so so many of my interests. It got shut down in late 2024 and then a company bought it again, I thought it would stay the same, after all, this app was my childhood, but then, when I check it, AI has taken over, I’m not seeing people sharing drawings anymore, I’m seeing people sharing AI games and AI art and AI coding! And now there are so many new subscriptions, you can barely do anything! I miss the old DIY so much, and I wish it never changed. Thanks for reading.

are we serious ?
this app used to be about childish creativity , fun , friends , and well , DIY ( do it yourself ) and now its an ai generated coding app. parents / curious explorers , please do not buy this app for you or you kids. it does not express creativity at all.
