Tired of /u/UserLeansBot? Introducing /u/PolCompBot to help map a user's history on the political compass!
Post Body

Intro

/u/UserLeansBot classifies Neoliberal Centrists, BernieBros, LibLeft Anarchists and tankies all within a ultra broad "left" label. It was kind of annoying having literally 90% of people you did it to get 99% left as everything from /r/neoliberal to /r/MoreTankieChapo was considered the same amount left tbh

So to remedy this overly simplistic user lean bot... I've created... A slightly less overly simplistic way to tell a user what an idiot they are. This bot puts each subreddit into a quadrant (the 4 quadrants, Centrist as well as unities) and then will calculate the users' rough position based on post history alone. It's still not perfect because everything within a quadrant/category is rated the same (T_D and DebateAltRight are both rated 10 on Auth and 10 on Right for example).

How to use

Just summon me by username. If you say /u/PolCompBot and there's a user after my name, I will scan that user's post history. If you just say my name I will scan the parent comment's post history

It's not working

Due to this bot having low karma, the number of comments it can make are limited. As this bot gets more userkarma, it will be able to make comments faster and faster. So please, do upvote this bot when you see it so it can answer requests quicker. Until then the bot will answer in a queue

Why only comment karma

Tbh from my experience at least comment karma actually signals engagement in a community while plenty of people just crosspost articles into subs they think the community will agree with. You see this a lot with subs which aren't close, but also not polar opposites (for example, you might see an anti-Trump piece from /r/Libertarian crossposted and upvoted on /r/politics)

What subreddits are on the list? Which quadrant are they in?

A list of subreddits can be found here

Does this bot have a fursona?

No.

Not sending me bitcoin violates NAP. bc1qxdtt8gl6z8y6fvnvk824hmgvmyzj8s6zh5dm32

I have a really cool idea which you can implement

Ideas can be suggested here along with bugs and feedback

BUG FOUND: IF YOU WANT TO RUN THE BOT ON A SPECIFIC USER, YOU NEED TO USE /U/XXX NOT U/XXX, I will try to fix this shortly
