Fun side story on why there's 10 different @automod accounts. When moderation switched to require likes on protocol it created a problem: you only get 2,500 likes per storage unit, after that its fair game for hubs to prune old reactions. Well, some channels like /lp are very high volume. They could do 30k casts in a single day which means others channel's likes would be dropped and no longer shown in Main. Thing is, even though @dwr.eth and @v alluded something like this might be necessary, I didn't fully process what they meant until about 8h before channels pivoted over. So I went with this: take all the high volume channels, about 5 or so, and dedicate separate accounts like @automod-ringo, @automod-davinci for them. That gives them 2,500 casts worth on their feed each, more than anyone would page through. Then take all the free accounts, beef up the storage and put them on the shared account @automod (its now got capacity for 500k likes, s/o caststorage . com). cont'd

Indeed. I have a deep interest in the protocol, and these extreme cases are very important when we are discussing new FIPs.

One solution was allowing folks to bring their own bot account. It has some benefits for channels too that they could have their own bot with branding and preserve likes as they wish, even compose with other mod services if it made sense. The trade off is that the onboarding from automod’s standpoint for that is very bad: Pay for new account. Onboard. Grant signer, etc so I thought I’d offer it as a feature to opt into but never bothered in the end.
