Destroying the dragon’s tail?

cool

Just so y’all know, he’s always two steps ahead.

They don’t even have free will. They just blindly trust whatever the government says. And also, for them, anything american means freedom, also the freedom to have privacy as well, so they’ll get annoyed or ignore you if you dare tell them the truth about the other American origin services as well.

I use them to tag people that are regularly active and have good behaviour. I also tag some important people, like the owners of instances, software, etc.

You can’t stop them. Publicly available data can and will be a training source for LLMs.

That’s social anxiety btw.

They sure do “improve” the “open” web by developing new tech that benefits advertisers.

Just block it and you’ll no longer see any posts or comments of it.

I love this.

None of the mod bots seem to be written in Rust, which I’ll be using. So nope.

Banning members on their username.

I am merely trying to give community mods options. This feature and the other features are optional. Direct your complaints to the community owners if they use some regex that matches usernames that you think shouldn’t be banned.

Locking down an entire community because of a small group of people spamming.

The bot just locks it down to stop the spam, otherwise everyone’s feed will just be filled with spam. I haven’t seen such a spam yet, but that does not mean there won’t be any in the future. Just trying to be prepared for it.

Deleting posts because an account isn’t old enough?

Again, I am just giving the mods options. If they enable the feature and use it, direct your complaints to them.

Why not throw in the system to have to approve posts before they get published? Really make the community welcoming.

That is possible with post locking and with a dashboard. I’ll look into it.

It was said in another comment above that this tool is easily abused by “overzealous mods”, but I believe the real problem are overzealous programmers.

Again, I’m only giving them options.

Every tool can be used both in good and bad purposes. Why is it that it is the fault of the tool or its creator?

This is a moderation bot.

Alright. Sounds fair. Instead of taking dangerous actions, I’ll make it create a report instead. Though I’ll probably keep the feature to punish members by their usernames via regex or word blacklist.

Sounds good as well. Karma would be bad but account age seems somewhat reasomable as an optional protection. Accepted.

Exactly.

It’s to easen the work of community moderators. And you can’t just catch every comment that needs to be removed. Or posts, etc. This is where an automated moderation bot comes in. No matter how much you hate it, it is a must to have some automated system in growing platforms such as Lemmy.

It’s also not like the bot instantly bans everyone. I honestly don’t get the hate
