This is a very interesting concept. The bot implementation seems a little too noisy to catch on in most of my group chats, but I love the concept and I hope moderation ideas like this get tighter integration with chat apps in the future.
Among cryptocurrencies, there is one based on time:
Grin's emission is one Grin per second, forever.
So the supply always equals the time it existed (almost 2.5 years now).
Yes, this is a bot, but the time-based currency works for all Telegram users, regardless of the chat. This is not self-promotion: Telegram bots api is open for everyone.
Obviously mobbing and multiple accounts break this, but it's still a fun little idea. If it's invite-only group which would eliminate sock-puppeting it could be interesting experiment.
Yes, it's can be invite-only group. Also, in @timecobot the time is carried over between chats. In other words, time is an attribute of the Telegram user, not the chat user.
This is not an advertisement. I would never consider someone talking about a Discord bot to be talking about an official bot released from Discord. It is incredibly common for users to write bots on these platforms.
I do not see how will this help, it will create opinionated groups that are close to different views. So, each time someone expresses his view, the entire group can act against that person, which is exactly what happens today on the twitter, if you express unpopular view about let say "gender" topic, there will be entire cohort of hate tweets...
It seems like many other ideas, this was well intended, but devs have not considered many negative type of misuse and exploits...
I prefer to give people as much freedom as possible to manage their community. It would be interesting to know what will come of this. No censorship of moderators like Twitter
