After some discussions in !chat, we came up with the conclusion we should adopt rules surrounding bots.

We'll ban bots which we are aware of that currently don't follow these rules and contact their creators. Please report bots that don't follow these.

Would it be possible for the bot to DM us instead when communities decide to ban/restrict them for whatever reason?

I've found this bot incredibly useful personally, and I assume the community does too, looking at various Lemmy posts where the TLDR bot upvotes closely follow the OP upvotes (sometimes exceeding it)

Note - I'm not a beehaw user, for anyone reading whose apps do not show my instance.

Well, I may try it, but it might drive the costs of running the bot significantly if a lot of users use the feature.

Edit: Done. Will see how it goes, might roll this back if it's too taxing on my wallet.
