Thanks for sharing. I checked out a few other bots in different languages, but the typescript one seemed really nice and easy to setup. How much resources does it use typically?

I haven't actually checked resource usage tbh.

Video/image download bot would be super useful.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Same. Bots are spam.

Nah there are many useful bots that help people.

For example unit conversion, reminders, sources, bots that get triggered when you mention a series or book or stuff like that and provide a small Summary of said thing.

We aren't talking about spam bots that plaster the place with onlyfans shit or something.

And I would like to see a federation-wide policy that all bots must be clearly identified as bots (an attribute on their account). And features in the site code to block all bots as a user preference.

Lemmy has an option to mark accounts as bots. For example, check out the profile of @ParentiBot@lemmygrad.ml.
