Replit is Broken

[OwenStritz]

what is the exact reason they are getting rid of free (planning to at leat). i mean repl.co keeps going down maybe their reason for paid hosting is their servers are filled up or somthing or having issues, idk

[QwertyQwerty88]

They are not getting rid of free hosting! It is literally the entire point of Replit. They are going to release Deployments soon, so hosting on Replit will be more reliable than ever, and most importantly, free.

The “deploy to cover page” thing is still planned as far as I can tell.

[OwenStritz]

were do you guys find all this news?

[QwertyQwerty88]

They are releasing Deployments slowly to the public, including free users. It wouldn’t make sense for them to switch it up to paying.

@bigminiboss told me.

Try blog.replit.com. There’s also lots of stuff scattered across Ask.

[bigminiboss]

mhm iirc it’ll be rolled out so that the base is free but you can upgrade for like more storage and always on? iirc

[9pfs1]

Check the UI when you deploy a repl, it says clearly that free users will only be allowed to “deploy to the cover page”.

[bigminiboss]

oof I can’t read srry

[anon40284853]

Please define “deploy”. Is that different from the normal web hosting?

[bigminiboss]

basically lol (as far as I can tell)

@LyndenSylver

Even if there are less than 100 active people on Replit Ask, new threads are being made faster than they can reply.

Yes but all 100 people voted on ONE topic about it.

@LyndenSylver

Replit is a small company with a large user base.

Replit is a LARGE company no? And again, there aren’t even 100 people actually active on here.

@LyndenSylver

It wouldn’t surprise me if most, if not all, of their staff primarily work on the main platform and then read through threads and reply when they have time.

Like Ethan said, they DO have time.

@LyndenSylver

Some of our comments might prompt them to have a meeting before they reply.

Yes but it took them about a month to respond.

@LyndenSylver

Also, the Replit staff are people too who have lives. There’s only so much any one person can do in a day.

We are talking about a post made in mid February my guy. No one is asking for them to do it in a day.

@JayAySeaOhBee14

Yes but it took them about a month to respond.

I’ve been told several times recently that there are several really active staff on Ask, but that they are busy doing stuff behind the scenes and not posting here. Perhaps it would help them to have more moderators or at least TL4s. I know that Ethan is super busy on Ask and Matt tries to help him, but that’s only two people actively helping the staff (that I can see). There are lots of posts here for so few people to truly moderate.

[LyndenSylver]

I couldn’t have said it better myself. This was exactly what I was trying to point out

@JayAySeaOhBee14

The issue of mods abusing their power is another topic that needs to be addressed.

Not true! My only interaction with mods has been… An unreasonable warn which was decided by two mods one of which warned and the other declined my appeal…

[anon40284853]

I don’t understand your post @7heMech. You quote @JayAySeaOhBee14 saying that the mods’ abuse of power needs to be addressed, then say it’s not true, then give an example of the mods messing up. It seems contradictory to me. Or am I just missing something?

[7heMech]

Yeah… It’s sarcasm, sorry.

[sonicx180]

This is just inspirational. A well written speech. 10/10

[sonicx180]

I was going to say the first bullet point, but you said it first

[AMOGHSANGINENI]

@JayAySeaOhBee14 I agree this is getting out of hand.

Also, another issue I’m finding commonly is copying repls and publishing without credit. Including the publishing of scratch projects. I’m seeing them everywhere.
