Found this article while scrolling the Internet. I feel it is pretty applicable to my short experience on the Fediverse so far, since the decentralizaiton aspect of it is offset by the fact that user data is tied heavily to the server you register to, and that the server can dictate what other content you see. OcapPub is an attempt to remedy this issue, while also providing powerufl new tools for moderation and social trust that can protect people

Check out the Bay Area Transformative Justice Collective, they have a bunch of cool resources on transformative justice. This article relates to pods, a new way of thinking of communities. Instead of thinking of an amorphous blob of people or an idea, pods are a way to map who you can actually rely on when you are in distress.

I was thinking a lot about how design patterns are useful solutions to certain classes of problems. I went spelunking online and found this from a Wikipedia page lol. Hope it proves helpful for community activists!

I have built an AutoMod bot for my instance, lemmy.basedcount.com. The bot covers the following features:

• Automated removal
  • of posts, based on their title, content or link
  • of comments, based on their content
  • configurable with either regular expressions or substrings
• User whitelisting and exceptions for moderators to selectively lift some or all of the aforementioned rules for certain users.
• Mention based pinning and locking of a post, through commands exclusively available to the mod team
• Discord notifications for new registration applications through a webhook. [only for admins]

Naturally, the bot is completely open source. I have also written a rather comprehensive (albeit long-winded) documentation and some examples.

This project is mainly targeted towards admins of small instances, however anyone can spin up their own AutoMod instance for their favourite community (provided they are a moderator there).
The automoderator is also available as a Docker image, for ease of installation.

Feel free to suggest any additional features that you might want to see added to this bot.
