I'm a little late, but I was just realising I hadn't heard from the bot and was wondering what happened to it. I'm sad to see it go, although I do understand why.
If you decide to bring it back, perhaps a system where it deletes its comment once downvoted below -1. I think the Reddit bot did that. That way there's a mechanism to remove inaccurate comments. I can't remember if the bot already had something like this, but if it didn't, perhaps a user, community, and instance opt out system could be implemented. I think if iirc, the previous system was basically "if you don't like it, just ban the bot" (although I may be getting mixed up with other bots. That sort of approach often makes some people upset as they may see it as unsolicited spam with no proper opt out system.
In any case, I don't think this will be the end for AutoTLDR (or a derivative), and I'm keen to see what other projects you come out with!
Thanks for running the bot for so long, most of us appreciate it♥️
