Automod originally used unstable internal APIs. Seeing it work influenced the evolution of channels, and mod bots became a first class part of the spec.

You can talk about why it's impossible to create anything, or you can create something that shows what's possible.

Respect to @jtgi and all who "show, don't tell."

We hadn’t even considered Automod as a category of Farcaster client. 

@jtgi didn’t wait for an FIP or public APIs. He just built something useful and people were willing to jump through some hoops to use it.

Made us want to design channels around this new category of client.

automod

Hey all, I’ve decided to sunset automod.

Channels are changing and Automod needs to adapt to work well with the new design. I like the new direction for channels and think it makes the right trade offs but it requires major changes and a renewed commitment that don’t make sense for me at this point.

Real quickly:
- Automod will run until the changes go into effect.
- All remaining subscription time will be refunded.
- Automod is now open source with APIs to port moderation configurations.

I’ve worked on automod nearly everyday for the past 7 months. I’m proud of it and thankful to everyone who gave it a shot.

Thank you.

Dan did you know that @jtgi recently announced that they are shutting down @automod because channels are changing?

I think this characterizes what we stressing about

automod.sh — power tools for your channel. Setup in < 2min.

Yes, we talked through it extensively. Ask him.

Just invite people you want to be there. If they misbehave, remove.

As someone who relied heavily on it to keep 98% of posts in my channels main feed since again I rely on no-code solutions to help artists be visible and thrive what are the options going to be other than personally handing out invites to the channel. That and when it comes to our own “channels” where we do want engagements under the posts but not allow folxs to post in it what should we do?

haha also reverse engineered our programmatic webhooks before we launched them lol

I’m so hoping I will still be able to use my hypersub to moderate it somehow.

I really don’t wanna loose this perk I’m giving to subbers

When you’re driven, you don’t wait or ask for permission. You just create with love and the result sometimes surprises even yourself. 🔥 love how much potential is everywhere here.

If someone wanted to make their channel open to anyone without having to manually invite, would a frame like this work?

Free Channel specific NFT mint —> request to join —> call APIs —> if true, bot send invite | if false, loop back to free NFT

So once channel updates go live we will just wait for the next legend to bless us with their magic?

this is what a collaborative innovation system looks like to me. bravo!

So what's the current conclusion on automod
