`cringebot` is a bot that tracks and auto-deletes on Mastodon/Pleroma accounts according to a set maximum age, if they are bad enough. Tracking multiple instances simultaneously is possible. Once a status is flagged for retention, the bot will not check it again.
*Note: This software is still a little rough around the edges, especially when it comes to first-time setup.*
## Installation (Linux)
#### Obtain root login shell
@ -50,6 +52,23 @@ systemctl status cringebot
journalctl -t cringebot -f
```
#### Learning
The bot will respond to each of your messages with a categorisation direct message. To adjust it, you can respond to this direct message with:
```
learn spam
learn ham
unlearn spam
unlearn ham
relearn spam
relearn ham
```
Use `learn` on messages the bot is unsure about, `unlearn` to weaken the categorisation, and `relearn` to nudge a clear categorisation one way or another. When a message is learned or relearned as spam, it's scheduled for deletion `max_age` minutes after it was posted. When it's learned or relearned as ham, or unlearned as spam, it's removed from the deletion schedule.
