I've been stuck on #Duolingo for a while now, mainly for kanji, but I've also wanted for some time to find a new and better place.

After discovering #Ringotan, #Anki, and #Renshuu, I'm ready to destroy the ~1.7K-day streak and #cancelDuolingo.

(It's slightly over 1666, but that's okay.)

More than a few days in, and I can confidently confirm how I feel about #Ringotan! It's excellent for actually memorizing the kanji, even the more complex ones.

I'll still need to figure out grammar + vocab replacements to #cancelDuolingo fully.

In the meantime, I trust this face!

I've embarrassingly still been stuck with #Duolingo for some time, but I'm finally finding replacements to #cancelDuolingo with.

I heard about #Ringotan recently, and it's working really well for Japanese kanji study already!

I'm officially done with Duolingo, cancelled and uninstalled, and off to study with Mango languages instead.

Enormous RIP to all the hard work by the artists and translators who are getting their work ruined by an idiot CEO's push to AI slop.

Duolingo literally replaced helpful comments from their human users with an upsell for AI. #cancelDuolingo

Guessing nobody whatsoever is using Duolingo's stupid AI "video call" feature because they've now put it in FOUR PLACES, bumping "profile," "feed," and "practice" tabs to a submenu.

Disgusting lmao #cancelDuolingo

Well he certainly doesn't have a business brain.

He's managed to vex paying customers, Iike me, into alternatives.

I'm finding Lingodeer to be doing the business and they're making a selling point of using humans not AI.

Adding to the thread:

I put this in job market impact rather than informational microplastics or education, because the goal is explicitly to eliminate wages. That remains the no 1 goal of AI. Eliminate the wages paid to you.

Not surprising he would say this, as he is trying to sell something, but statements like this should be highlighted because he is explicit about the goal being to eliminate teachers.
Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’
Duolingo replaced its contract workers with AI. Now its eyes are set on schools.

Lingodeer demonstrating its superiority to Duolingo!

Measure words exist in English as in a pair of socks, a pair of trousers, a pair of scissors and a pair of underpants, although they are much less commonly used. You _could_ use "ge" for everything. :-/

Just deleted @duolingoverde.bsky.social after a 2150 day streak. I will not support any company that fires workers and replaces them with AI. Subpar app. Fire the CEO not workers. #cancelduolingo #boycottduolingo #duolingo

I'm on a family plan and gonna stick around and see if I can get banned until the subscription ends, I guess.

I already completed the German program, working on finishing Legendary B1 and Deutsch➡️Español but I've never been impressed with the way they teach Japanese.

Glad I canceled @duolingobrasil.com.br sometime ago. I’m wondering when people are going to realize that making statements like this may help them with the Wall Street, but it probably won’t help them with Main Street. #ai #cancelduolingo

Disappointingly Busuu uses gen AI so I'll have to give them a skip.

I was going to post this article this weekend but Duolingo's recent doubling down on replacing humans with generative AI pushed me to get it out sooner.

Here's a list of amazing apps for learning Japanese that DON'T use generative AI!

When I finished Duolingo Arabic a couple of years ago I went to iTalki and found a great *human being* Arabic teacher. Some places have free conversation meetups for people to practice languages (check your library!). And there’s always watching media in your target language. #cancelDuolingo

fyi if you want non-ai based alternatives, the #CancelDuolingo hashtag has a bunch listed, i’m interested to see lingonaut when it releases

All my homies hate AI

Duolingo anunciou que a empresa vai ser "AI First". A Inteligência Artificial vai ser priorizada nas contratações (os candidatos precisarão ter conhecimento de IA), análise de performance dos empregados e, principalmente, na demissão de pessoas para substituí-las por automaçao de IA (+)

Time to ditch Duolingo. #cancelduolingo
One of our customers is a translator and was telling me that most of her work now is correcting AI translations. It's soul destroying.

I'm a big believer in learning languages. I've been recommended Lingonauts, Mango Languages, and Lingodeer amongst others.

See #cancelDuolingo for more.

It's important that people keep up positive hobbies rather than stopping because a CEO is a dipshit. 😀
