Open Source Spotlight: KarmaBot - Karma and Light Moderation
Open Source Spotlight: KarmaBot
Repo: https://github.com/bomzheg/KarmaBot
License: see repository
Stack: Python, aiogram 3, Tortoise ORM
Approx. popularity: ~100+ stars
What it is
KarmaBot tracks karma in chats (thank helpful members) and adds simple moderator tools with action history.
Core features
Who it is for
Technical or community chats that want soft reputation mechanics plus light moderation - not a full Rose replacement.
Growth angle
Karma systems can increase replies and peer help if the culture fits. They fail if people farm karma or troll the counters - set norms early.
Caveats
Needs sensible admin rights and clear chat rules so karma does not become drama fuel.
Would karma help your community, or would it backfire? Discuss below.
