We’re increasing the AI credits on Discourse Free. If you've been rationing summarizations or second-guessing whether to use AI search on a thread, that calculation just changed.
We’re giving communities more room to actually use the tools the way they're meant to be used. 🧵
Early free plan users were quickly running through their credits because features like thread summarization and related topics are genuinely useful day to day.
When people hit the ceiling that fast, the ceiling is the problem, not the usage…
Increasing Free credits helps us to learn more about what people actually do with real headroom, and that usage shapes what we build next and how we think about AI across every plan.
If you're running a community on Discourse Free and you've been cautious about the AI tools - summarizing long threads, surfacing related discussions, letting AI handle the repetitive moderation work - now's a good time to stop being cautious and give them a proper run.
Credits are up starting now. Check your dashboard, see what's changed, and put them to work!

@Discourse Oh goodie, exactly what forums need, more slop!
Please tell me there is a way to completely disable this crap, both as an admin and a user? I've been interested in using Discourse as an alternative to Discord for building my stream community - between traditional threaded forums and live chat, it has almost everything I'd need - but my interest is dead if I can't turn off the bullshit factory. Seriously, who wants a community where the posts aren't written by the actual community? Dumbest shit I've ever heard of tbh
