View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?
You can also look at r/all new posts to get every subreddit, even when not mentioned.
EDIT: also do you have a source on computation power being the reason good bot bad got shut down? I assumed it was because the bot was banned almost everywhere as it was quite spammy.

I've had some conversations with mods, and a lot of them disapprove the bot just spamming under all of their subreddits. This is why the bot works automatically but only in a couple of subreddits. I don't want the bot to get everywhere. This is indeed what happened to goodbotbadbot, it was and encouraged spam.
This is obviously a big factor as to why the bot was shut down, but according to the creator, he shut it down because he couldn't or didn't want to afford it anymore: https://github.com/woodske/GoodBot_BadBot/issues/31[1]. Sorry for not making that distinction earlier.

Scanning r/all results in other technical difficulties as well. You run into ratelimits and there is a lot of scanning to do (For example scanning an askreddit thread would take a while). I've tried it but it results in too many issues for me to handle. But maybe I'm doing it wrong, feel free to contribute on GitHub: www.github.com/killedmufasa/amputatorbot!
Thx for your help!
