I am planning to create a bot that would allow people to tag posts or content they want to get fact checked. The idea is this:
(1) you tag the soon-to-be fact-checker bot under a comment or main thread, something like @fact_check_this_bot
(2) the bot cross-posts on this community page
(3) for the future, given sufficient answers to the post (maybe we can control that with flairs or something), the bot can also nudge back the person who requested the fact checking
(4) will share the code for the bot so that others can replicate this on their own instances, now thinking of forking this one: https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/lemmy-bot
Of course, people will still be able to make their own posts, this bot is just meant to make it easier, faster, and more organized.
I haven’t gotten started yet, hardly skimmed through the github repo of the lemmy bot. So if you have any ideas or pointers, please let me know!
What functions will it have?
For now: Keyword - Responses
Blacklist word phrases.
Disclaimer Notice on a Post
(Warning System [In the future])
The bot will be open source and for the beginning its only 1 hosted ( instance of the bot ) = 1 Community
If you want i can help you creating your bot too :) As i am experienced in programming!
If you want to discuss it furthermore we can talk on discord @roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooki
Thanks for the offer, I might add you later. Some tips to get started would be really appreciated.
I’m a programmer as well, so if you want any help let me know.
Here is my bot: https://github.com/hdevelopments/lemmy-automod-bot
It was like a work of 1 hour, because of it this isnt nearly finished!
Cool, I’m at work atm but I promise to take a look as soon as possible. My initial goal is to try to have a PoC bot running before the 1st of July.
Ok i made huge progress :) The newest version has auto post, commands ( global, community only, mod only ), auto mod ( Remove or Ban User ).
For your purpose i could imagine a global command like @fact check. And then you can crosspost the post :).
Hi, thanks for the help. This is exactly the purpose I posted in the original thread. I’ll take a look but will likely build my own. If your repo is good, I’ll fork it.
If your bot is better then mine i will fork yours XD
Sure.
Nice! Thanks! I dont think that your bot will take so long tbh! My guess would rather be in max 3 days it is running base.
Nice :D
Any update with your bot?
Eh shit, I wrote a comment here but looks like it was eventually lost when the lemmy update on lemm.world rolled back…
Please DM me if you wanna talk more about this. This post is meant to collect ideas for the bot, so I don’t want to clutter the discussion here.
