I'm in interested in this lucrative discord bot seeing how I know nothing of the discord bot economy.
Announcements
For community-wide announcements, such as new subs, etc.
Tween drama nonsense if true π π
I was kinda hoping this was someoneβs misguided, lone wolf attempt at ending the era of fediverse open enrollment.
'turns out they were all children' is an amazing plot twist
Annoying. Just the same I hope admins take certain action to mitigate this now and ruminate on ways to mitigate it further in the future with the flip of a switch (perhaps a switch mods of communities can flip to temporarily restrict posting from all other instances, put them in a mod-queue something like that).
Another option might be for a mod power to be created that allows mods with it to spam-hide all content from a given instance temporarily and kick the problem up to admins in a queue for review, perhaps make sure it checks against an allow-list that admins can create of trusted instances that cannot be spam-hidden from (which a rogue or compromised mod could use to wreak havoc), such a list could be populated manually with top active instances or by a periodic process that looks for a certain amount of historical activity from a given instance that hasn't been removed and if an instance has for some time had positive interactions it gets added to this soft allow-list.
Fediverse does need better spam controls IMO because things like this at scale and more frequent are draining to human mods and annoying to users.
Danganronpa reference????
