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!
