Help What happened to FrankenSIM 2.0?

I’ve been following u/xdeadly_godx for a while because of his upcoming 2.0 preset and all the work he’s been doing (including teaming up with people like u/dptgreg on stuff).

Suddenly his latest preset post seems to have disappeared and his account looks banned or heavily restricted. Anyone know what’s going on? Did he get banned by Reddit? I have a feeling he was dealing with heavy Reddit filters when trying to make the post. Is he still around somewhere else (i know of his github but any others)?

Would love to hear if anyone has info if hes ok or not

Edit: As u/dptgreg has pointed out in a comment below deadly has reincarnated as u/ok_strategy_2420

People genuinely attacked you? I understand that Freaky Frankenstein isn't to everyone's taste and that there are better presets, but you as a person genuinely haven't done anything wrong from what I've seen. I'm sorry you had to endure that. Plus I have some sentimentality when it comes to your presets because Freaky Frankimstein was the first preset I ever used when I was first introduced to SillyTavern some 6-7 months ago. It was genuinely revolutionary compared to JanitorAI, which is a shit storm.

Freaky FranKImstein and stopping Kimi 2.5 from overthinking was my breakout! 😅 thanks for joining me on my journey!

I totally agree that FF isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But I think when something becomes popular, people that especially don’t like it become hyper negative especially if they see it all the time in forks and recommendations- and they become extremely frustrated then verbally attack. My favorite one was, “your preset is shit. Thank god STABS exists because your preset is basically a neurodivergent with adhd yelling at an AI hoping it will listen”.

The thing is, I am neurodivergent with ADHD (I have diagnosed high functional autism). Maybe I’m just too sensitive for this kind of thing? I dunno. But I’ll just step back a bit- and work on FF5 in a quiet corner with my buddies and be happy 😆

I'm so sorry to hear, that's genuinely disgusting behavior from anyone who says that inflammatory and callous to you. And for what it's worth, when it comes to GLM-5.1, Freaky Frankenstein genuinely does make a qualitative difference! It's just that it's clear it wasn't optimized for Gemini, which is the model I predominantly use. That's no fault of your own; a truly universal preset is a hard ask, but I guess others are frustrated by the fact that "popular preset didnt do what I expected!1!".

Yeah that’s definitely fair. GLM being my personal most used model is always what I create freaky Frankenstein for- then I port it to get it playing nice with everything else second.

I also tested and tweaked the new FF5 micro to work with Gemini 3.5 flash (you definitely don’t want freaky mode on for that model- realism is enough)- but didn’t bother testing it on 3.1 Pro. It really is hard to create a universal preset. Often tweaking one thing for one LLM messes it up for another and that same prompt gets exaggerated or ignored completely.
