I made a simple mod bot for Lemmy.

It’s still “early access”, but it’s stable and should be fit for everyday use.

I’d be really happy to get some feedback on what kind of features mods would like to see.

If you want to try it in action, go to !bottest@feddit.de. That’s the testing community where it currently filters posts with duplicate URLs, same as mentions of Reddit, Lego and other beings-who-must-not-be-named. Feel free to post stuff there and see it get automatically moderated.

    I don’t see anything wrong with mod bots. I don’t advocate their use I an ‘authoritarian role’, but they can be used for things like preventing duplicate posts, making posts fit guidelines, removing spam, etc. They’re just a tool to make moderation easier, it doesn’t change anything about the way a community is moderated.

      Just wait until the t-shirt/mug scammers show up with their post bots. Then people will understand why mod helper bots are needed.
