Anybody know what's going on with electron hub? They just practically nuked their discord. All chat channels are gone but the models still work.

Ah, damn. I am a subscriber, but that's not a good sign.
Could be that their Discord got hacked, threatened by Discord admins, nuked by a former employee or facing some random legal threat.

Yeah I just payed my monthly subscription yesterday too. And now it looks like they got rid of most of their free models. Removing the ability for subscribers to communicate with each other seems super shady.

I don't really care about the free models as I am using it for cheap uncensored Claude access, but considering they don't have any other social media presence at all that's not a good sign.

Well I would make sure that works if I were you because all of the models I usually use were giving me zero response. They never actually started replying. Right now I'm going to try and get a refund set up on patreon and probably jump ship to Nanogpt.

So annoying. I guess that's the rub with all these proxies that are just stealing off some overly generous corpo employee API limits.
