Sloth Lee for
Community servers.
Calm tools for communities where the vibe is half the value.
Community servers — book clubs, hobby groups, mutual-aid networks, fandoms — survive on tone. The bot you bring in either reinforces the tone or undermines it. Sloth Lee's posture is quiet by default, helpful when asked, never chatty.
What this audience tends to struggle with
- A bot that posts walls of embed text when someone joins, breaking the conversational flow.
- Onboarding that asks too much (full forms, captchas, role wizards) and loses people who would've stayed.
- Moderation that escalates faster than the community wants — auto-banning over a single bad day rather than warning + talking.
- Premium walls that gate basics like the audit log, so 'your community' becomes 'your community plus a paywalled bot'.
The toolkit, framed for community servers
Quiet defaults
Sloth Lee posts only when asked. No chatty responses, no welcome essays, no 'thanks for using me' weekly. Show up when needed, stay invisible otherwise.
Soft moderation ladder
First-strike is a public warning, not a timeout. Three steps before any action sticks. DMs the member each step so they know the floor.
Audit log on free tier
Full per-action audit log. Who did what, when, against whom. Free, exportable, with comments mods can leave on entries.
Support inbox
Members can DM the bot for support; staff sees it as a thread in the dashboard with attached context. Reduces 'who's on duty' confusion.
Member opt-in roles
Self-assign roles via reactions. Pronouns, interests, time zones — all optional, all member-driven, no admin involvement needed.
A 5-step setup
1. Add the bot, pick a quiet introduction
Add to Discord, then in the wizard pick 'Quiet introduction' — Sloth Lee posts one short line in #general and disappears unless invoked.
2. Soft AutoMod
Set AutoMod sensitivity to 'low'. Most community servers don't want it firing on edge cases — better to escalate to mods than to act automatically.
3. Pin your three rules
Use the template. Communities especially benefit from rules with examples — they communicate culture in addition to policy.
4. Self-assign roles
Reaction roles in #welcome. Pronouns, interests, time zones. All optional; no consequences for not picking. The lower the friction, the more people opt in.
5. Connect the support inbox
Dashboard → Support inbox → enable. Members DM the bot for help; threads appear in your staff channel with full context.
Communities live or die on tone. A bot that respects yours is doing 80% of its job. Sloth Lee's defaults are tuned for that — quiet, soft, helpful when asked, invisible otherwise.
