View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?
Edit: thanks to your feedback! I've updated the bot to be able to listen to and act upon mentions. Check out how[1].

~~Unfortunately not. That would require the bot to listen to and reply in all subreddits, that's gonna get hella expensive (this is why u/GoodBot_BadBot was shut down) it would be really hard to keep up with the actions of the moderatots and there are ratelimits that prevent the bot from scraping and posting so many comments. So I think I'n gonna stick with the current system for now. That said, it *is* doable and it *is* a great feature that I would love to implement one day.~~

Oh I see, doesn't mentioning a user send them a notification/message though? I was thinking it could listen for these instead of looking at all subreddits.
In any case though, thanks for the useful bot!
(and I hadn't known that goodbot_badbot was shut down, what a shame)
