🤖 Protect your room with our bot

We use Draupnir for automated floodingprotection, general moderation and to enforce banlists the bot is subscribed to. You are welcome to invite @modbot:tchncs.de to your room and take advantage of this bot.

You must grant this bot moderation permissions and change your room settings to allowing moderators to change ACLs (Access Control Lists).

Warning: The invite must be approved by your admin or a server moderator before the bot actually joins.

After your invite was approved, the bot will enforce banlists we trust or manage. It will also protect your room from flooding.

🗒️ Using Banlists without Draupnir

Some clients already support ACL self-service, but it needs to be enabled beforehand.

Element (with Labs enabled):

1. Settings > Labs > Try new ways to ignore people
2. Settings > Ignored users
3. Scroll down and subscribe to one or more of aboves ban-lists under Subscribed lists

🛡️ Reporting abuse

First things first: if you report remote users (or more), know that you as well should report them to their homeservers! To report bad actors to tchncs.de, please choose a way in tchncs.de/contact rather than the clients report feature. It's always good to have some context beforehand.

There are two ways to get started. The second one is not relevant for you, if the Telegram-room is already a thing.

Connecting two already existing rooms

1. On the Telegram-side, invite @tchncs_bot
2. Obtain the room-id, using the command /id
   
3. On the Matrix-side, invite @telegrambot:tchncs.de
4. Create the portal using the !tg bridge mynewid command
5. Enjoy.

Create a new Telegram-room for your Matrix-room

1. On the Matrix-side, invite @telegrambot:tchncs.de
2. Create the portal using the !tg create group|supergroup|channel command, choose one or leave the type blank, it will use "group" by default.
3. Enjoy.

Limitations / configurations

There is more the bridge can do. Check out this document for further instructions! Also, of course there is an !tg help command, ready to assist you.

If the bot is not replying, it maybe got stuck. In this event, please consult #tchncs:tchncs.de after waiting a few minutes.
