Hi @MrKaplan. I will continue my efforts to improve my moderation bot by following all your recommendations, such as implementing persistent sessions and creating a different account for the bot, also adhering to the bot rules of the instance. Additionally, I will slow down consecutive calls to the API. Let's see how it goes. Thank you.

It's fairly easy for a bot to post at random times. However it's possible to create a bot to check for bot behavior.

I made a few tests with bot moderation and quickly reached Lemmy.world instance limits (because the bot needs to read the posts consecutively and also get the user's public data).

When the account reaches the limit, it can't log in for a period. I don't want my account to be banned, so I will not continue trying to create moderation bots for Lemmy instances.

Yes, agreed. But the spam bot could just add random alt text or post descriptions. Checking if the text makes sense involves using an LLM with vision capability ($).

Thanks for the report. Post removed.

Thank God.

I would have just moderated this as 'not polite', but the comment was so strange that the admin banned the guy.

Not really AI translation...

I can't say if the author used any translation tool, but it definitely wasn't an LLM. This particular comic strip was published well before ChatGPT was released.

The English version of that comic strip is published on the author's domain (https://english.umsabadoqualquer.com/). He chose to place the comics written in English within his own subdomain.
