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.

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
