Fediverse

I think the strike system would make sense and limiting by account age might work as well, but I don't think the other simple method of moderation are going to be that useful, as word blacklists always have false positives and auto community lockdown could be exploited by someone to sabotage a community. (like with a denial of service attack)

Also, this is just my opinion but I really hate it when software speaks to me like they're real people, I understand that it is ultimately written by a person but when the same phrase is repeated to every person regardless of the context it just annoys me. Similiarly I don't like the automod messages/comments on reddit because it just feels like low effort content in comparison to what real people post on there.

I think this would make more sense framed as a plugin rather than a bot, because a bot post is placed equally to a human post while being inherently lower importance.

If I were to suggest features it would be something like a large language model based content filter, but I understand the computational and cost limitations would make that challenging.

Any questions are also welcome.

How would a moderator team deploy and customize this bot? Who will host it? You? The instance admins? The moderators themselves?

Thanks!

Thanks for taking this on! Lemmy is lacking these sorts of flexible and robust moderation tools.

What other features do you think are possible?

I think the ability to auto comment could be combined with regex and not limited to punishment. The ability to reply to an arbitrary string or list of strings with another string could be quite useful. Do you think this would be feasible?
