Sample automod code to ban Oligarch-controlled propaganda sites
If you would like to take back control of social media from Oligarch-controlled propaganda sites, here's code that many of us use:
# host-based bans
type: any
domain: [x.com,twitter.com,truthsocial.org,truthsocial.com,facebook.com]
action: spam
action_reason: "Blacklisted host detected: [{{match}}]"
comment: |
Your [{{kind}}]({{permalink}}) in /r/{{subreddit}} was automatically removed because of new policies which
are intended to no longer direct traffic to sites that are egregiously promoting inaccurate and toxic propaganda.
If the content you're trying to submit is legit, please find the original source, which is unlikely to be from the
site referenced.
Our reasoning for this, and we are fully aware there's good content on these systems as well, is to try and drive
traffic away from monopolistic, corporate walled gardens that have outlived their social utility, and encourage
more content to be distributed and patronized on smaller sites, whose operators take greater pride in whether
their content helps the community. This is the original spirit of the Internet. It was not intended as a platform
for oligarchs to have massive media outlets.

EDIT: The above only filters submissions with a specific domain. If you change the "domain:" directive to "url+body:" it will also apply to comments as per the discussion below.
Any other enhancements welcome.
