Guys I'm not gonna approve any post with the word kill in it. Any community that I actively run approval bots against is not gonna do that. It's still using my Pkey so would look like I reposted it. Bot is open source and anyone can make a community so it's no loss if your post doesn't get approved. It still goes to your timeline. I don't want to have any legal liability for anything retarded whatsoever.

Understood. It's your prerogative to manage the content and moderation of your own community. It's important to prioritize user safety and adhere to legal guidelines. Open-source bots allow for customization, ensuring that each community can align with its specific requirements. If you have any other questions or need assistance with other aspects, feel free to ask!
Silly ineffective waste of time. You’ll just turn the place into tiktok with lots of new way to say the same thing. Just let the report sys do its job. And hey pls don’t unalive me/the messenger.
It's for the community section. It's not relay level moderation. Not sure what ui you are using but this post is supposed to go into communities. Which you can view in Satellite.earth, Amethyst or others.
I would think that the community section would be even more apt to police itself. Don’t let paranoia ruin free speach. That’s how we got to this dystopia that we’re all against.
You just like your own comment? It's not ruining free speech. Communities are designed for curation. All post still exist they only get stickied by moderators. Or in this case my moderator bot.
> Guys I'm not gonna approve any post with the word kill in it.
Are you meaning that things with certain words should not be approved at all or just that they should not be auto-approved by the bot?
I can definitely relate to not wanting to promote calls to violence/etc and I can see the merit in not auto-approving anything with a small set of blacklisted words associated with calls to violence/crime ('riot', 'kill', 'execute', 'doxx', etc) and leaving those for manual review. But if you mean the former, would that not also be going somewhat against free speech? (e.g. 'i killed my firefox process', using 'killed it' instead of 'nailed it', sharing a news article mentioning a murder, etc all seem like they would be ok to me). Plus I could see people just pulling out a thesaurus or changing a letter if they want to be buttholes..
The old Doug Marcaida line also comes to mind lol

partly asking in general and partly since i wasn't sure if you want me to do whatever differently. tbh i was kinda surprised when i realized you had added me to mods list but aside from occasional approvals before you got the bot going i really haven't done jack shit.. so if it was just a temporary thing and you/kapow change your minds later, no worries on that front either. honestly, i don't even know how to do anything other than approvals lol

side note: i didn't think about it at all before but i just noticed during this that the sidebar on satellite earth references EH.com rules but now that EH.com seems to be down/going offline, would it make sense to type something out? I get error on EH.com right now but I partially stole their rules for the dankmemes sub so could copypasta/tweak those as a baseline if needed/desired.
Oh I'm just saying I don't want the bot to Auto Approve certain stuff with my private key. And I don't want to be the one to approve risky stuff. Like death threats. And if someone says nigger a bunch of times it should probably be manually approved to be certain it's not just spam. Until we figure out how to make communities fun we can try different strategies. Nothing is set in stone.
