Okay, honest question. What mod tools are lacking. If there's something needed, what is that thing or things?

I went over to the feature request page for Lemmy and I couldn't find anything massive in terms of requests for moderation tools that would have been sure fire ways to stop this particular event.

That said, there is over 400 open feature requests alone on Lemmy's github. I obviously couldn't go through every single one. But coming from the kbin side I'm just curious about our Lemmy brothers and sisters. It sounds dire and I'm woefully under informed on how bad it is.

Agreed, I don't know what AutoMod did on Reddit but if what mods need is a rule-configurable post remover then I'd be happy to clobber together something in Python

There's this bot that is used in a couple of communities on feddit.de:

Oh great! This was literally how I envisioned my python script – JSON config file and all

If you've really got the time and energy I think you would see pretty heavy use of such a tool. I think the existing libraries are definitely mature enough. I've been surprised that nobody has done it already

Nice, do you happen to remember what the most popular moderation rules were? So far I can think of:

Minimum karma/account age to post/comment
Post title must contain X

I have exams in September but if I get a free day it should be enough to get something working

Wait does lemmy have reporting functionality, so you could use some type of number of reports?

existing libraries

As in Python Lemmy libraries?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. That's what I've been looking at at least
