Hey y'all. I've been working on this little project ever since the recent spam wave started. This is a very basic Python automoderator bot which will monitor the comments and posts federated into your instance for specific regex instances and then automatically report, delete, ban etc.

The Bot setup is very simple, as you can just chuck its docker-compose entry into your existing lemmy one. You just need to fill in the relevant environment variables.

The bot works by constantly polling your incoming reports, posts and comments, and matching them against provided regex.

I wanted to keep things simple for admins, so the bot configuration happens via a simple PM syntax. The README goes into details on this. But you basically send a message like this to the Bot to add a new filter

threativore add comment filter: `trial period`
reason: `Spam comment`
action: `REMOVE`
description: `Known spam string`

All bot controls work the same way. Eventually I want to add a UI to it.

The bot is built with collaboration in mind. So you can add more people to help you maintain your filters (even if they're not admins), you can add users whose reports will be treated more seriously, and you can even mark users as "ham" (i.e. known not spammers) to prevent them ever being filtered.

This is just the very first release and I have a lot of ideas to improve it in the future. Here's some stuff in my roadmap which should make the threativore a much more collaborative/crowdsourced process between multiple instance admins and the larger userbase. Stay tuned.

PRs and suggestion are welcome.

PS: The bot is already active on https://lemmy.dbzer0.com, so you can check the modlog for its actions.

I just updated the bot( to be able to ignore specific accounts from getting crosspoststed [email protected]. I can then "mute" people who just send garbage prompts consistently.

Practically it means you should stop seeing Tony Soprano posts.

If you notice any accounts that should be likewise muted, let me know.

Apparently contabo has a hidden limit on total amount of objects in the object storage, which they've now quintupled for me. Given our growth, this should hopefully last us a couple of years before I need to poke them again.

I was informed about something going wrong here and investigation showed that it's worse than I thought. My Contabo Object Storage started claiming it's full, even though it's only half-full. I opened a ticket to tell them to fix their shit, but knowing their speed, it might be a few more days :-/

That's what I get for choosing the budget services...

Please ignore

I remember being really disappointed that the mods there refused to leave reddit during the protests last June. Today I happened to check reddit and I see the engagement appears to have plummeted.

So it seems the peeps decided to vote with their feet, which is great! However I know there hasn't been a lot of influx in alternative places like this community, [email protected] or even raddle.me.

So where have all the online anarchists gone? What do you think :D
