The rise in social media users in recent years has made community content moderation difficult. Here's my attempt at changing that, with an open-source Discord bot that aims to help moderators keep their communities safer.

Puffin is an auto-moderation Discord bot utilizing sentiment analysis and zero-shot learning. Please allow a few seconds for a message to be flagged in a text channel. Feel free to reach out with feature requests, bug reports, or any other comments/issues you may have.

Tech Stack:

• Puffin is written using discord.py
• Database created with MongoDB - all data is encrypted in the cloud
• Hosted on a Raspberry Pi 5
• ML models integrated using Hugging Face Pipelines

Methodology:

Puffin filters messages based on whether or not they hold specific emotions, their sentiment, zero-shot labels that the user specifies, and more. Flagged messages are added to a moderation queue that can be viewed via an ephemeral message if you have the right permissions.
