Soter
Soter is an open-source Discord moderation bot that automatically scans every message in a server for hate speech and spam. It uses the Jev model by TypeSafe AI, accessed via OpenRouter, to return structured probability scores for hate speech and spam on each message. Clear violations are deleted automatically, repeat offenders are timed out, and affected members receive a DM explaining the removal. All automated actions are logged to a moderator-chosen channel, and agencies can exempt specific channels or tune violation thresholds and timeout durations. Written in TypeScript on Bun and MIT licensed, it is currently in early development and not yet running 24/7.
Soter is an open-source Discord moderation bot, integrating with Discord, OpenRouter, Jev, and GitHub. InnovaAI scores it 5/10 for agency resale.
