View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?
Ah, great point about wanting participation and I agree. I’d definitely not want to blacklist r/conspiracy - over 1M subbed and those are the very users who need to understand how Google doesn’t protect privacy.
If it’s not too much trouble to change to np for r/conspiracy, that’d be great. Perhaps there’s are other subs you’ll want to add in the future. Alternatively we could ask the r/conspiracy mods to turn off the automoderator for your bot (and possibly others in the future)?

Hi again, thanks a lot for taking the time to think about this with me.
Blacklisting the sub is indeed the wrong thing to do and you're probably right about other subs having similar policies when it comes to Reddit linking stuff. So I've written a small function to change `www.` to `np.` in a list of subs, which for now only contains r/conspiracy. The feature just went live in ffdd9db[1].

I haven't gotten the chance to test it properly, but I have no reason to believe that it wouldn't work :p I'll edit my comment once AmputatorBot has done something there.
You've made AmputatorBot a bit of a better bot, thanks :)
