Started out as a simple means to lock channels into "read-only" mode by creating outgoing webhooks and deleting every incomming message. + This code is long gone/rebased away.

Currently this bot's uses range from fun /threads /order to something helpful /join-all and to moderative features like /ta-wipe-channel or /mod-del and displays dialogs.

Installation:

• pip3 install --user --upgrade -r requirements.txt
• create a config.py file from config.py.example.
• make systemd start this bot (see somebot.service)

• periodically run some cronjobs, like these:

  bot command stats
