I haven't posted in a week since Lemmynsfw went down and I feel like I need to keep the spirit alive somewhere.

I'm not on piefed yet but that would be acceptable too.

Right, I was afraid of that. Also, while maybe it's the only feasible option for a hobby/volunteer project, automoderation has often ruined the fun of some subs over at Reddit when I was still using it.

It's in a different category than an automod bot IMO. It would basically be looking for the worst-of-the-worst highly illegal "you know it when you see it" type content and making sure it never reaches your storage or the instance. There would of course be the occasional false positives and things that slip through, which would have to be reported and dealt with on a case by case basis. That is just one way to do it though.

Thanks for the input! :) I'm starting to really appreciate (more than otherwise) those that do contribute with hardware and instance hosting.
