The story

AI platform AI Bird Corpse announced recent updates via Bluesky rather than its official website, prompting user accusations of avoiding direct community backlash. A post by user toongamer4.bsky.social on October 16, 2026, criticized the company for allegedly using external platforms to sidestep criticism from its own user base. The announcement’s relocation suggests potential friction between the platform and its community regarding recent changes. No official statement from AI Bird Corpse has addressed the communication strategy or the specific updates referenced. The incident underscores ongoing challenges AI companies face in managing user trust during product transitions.
