ByteDiceAssistant

An automation tool primarily made for myself (Byte Dice) but publicly available for anyone to use. It's both a Discord and Reddit bot in one program.

Caution

This tool is not intended for public use outside of the official Byte Dice Assistant bots. Expect issues if you host this yourself.\

Note

This bot never modifies any Reddit content. All it does and will ever do is read/scrape. The data will never be sold and will only be shared with permission from subreddit moderators.
