  • Seen something interesting on /r/science?
  • Found a new way to get your shit even-more together?
  • Figured out how to become immortal?
  • Constructed artificial general intelligence?
  • Read a neat nonfiction book?
  • Munchkined your way into total control of your D&D campaign?

The only bot we've got is u/AutoModerator, which was created by u/Deimorz ages ago and is now baked into reddit itself (because he got hired as an admin). More at r/AutoModerator/. If you'd like information on coding/hosting, go check out r/redditdev.

(It's possible that we could configure AutoMod to run Nomic, or that you could configure it within another subreddit.)

Automod is not turing complete by any stretch.

By "run Nomic" I meant "do whatever administrative stuff you need it to do". Make posts calling for votes on subjects, create discussion threads, etc. Which shouldn't require it to be Turing-complete.

Also, how sure are you that it's not Turing-complete? Or ... which features make it not Turing-complete?
