The one that banned you from !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone was Ada. So I am assuming the instance wide ban was also performed by Ada. You should contact Ada through her Matrix: @ada:chat.blahaj.zone, your PMs via Lemmy will not go through.
I stopped paying for Kagi a few years ago when they decided to introduce even more AI features than they had at the time. So I now run my own SearXNG instance. Fast, good and no AI in it. Just search results.
Lemmy and Piefed both support disabling federation for specific communities, if you mean not allowing people from other instances to interact with the community. Or do you mean just not allowing comments?
All can be made except that "r9k" mode. I don't plan on storing posts OR comments at all. I DO plan on giving each community a small key-value database so they can store some stuff, but I am not sure how many hashes of posts it could hold.
I wouldn't define "stat tracking" as appropriate for an automod, but the implementation will be left to mods so I don't really have any say in that. It can be made.
The kind of automod I am building is not only for Lemmy. It also does not depend on any API. It's a completely new ActivityPub platform just for automoderation. Any platform that mainly uses Group actors and supports moderation on them can be made compatible with it, with full integration of the platform's moderation features.
All of them are possible with my current design plan, which is allowing mods to write the functionality themselves (instead of predefining them like in some other automods) in sandboxed Lua (might change).
I might still predefine some myself for performance.
For automated ones, sure. But if you just want to schedule some post you made, that functionality is already available in Piefed and will be available in Lemmy in the next 1.0.0 release as well.
Unfortunately you can't do much about it other than try and block the bots by making it expensive (or impossible since some don't allow JS) for them with PoW CAPTCHAs (such as Anubis) on the frontend. And even then, if someone really wanted to scrape, they can always set an instance up themselves or even register an account on the instance and just call the APIs directly (which most likely won't be behind the PoW CAPTCHA as no known Lemmy client has functionality to solve them yet). Whether the scraper instance gets caught and blocked by admins is another matter, though.
