About SudoBot

In March of 2022, SudoBot was born. It was written by Ar Rakin, in JavaScript. But after a few months, it was rewritten in TypeScript since types make code easy to debug and maintain. We had only one goal for building the bot, and that is to support The Free Software Movement. We have a different view compared to other popular Discord Bots available. We've made the bot free and open source, proudly. It respects the end-users' freedom. Anyone can contribute and improve the bot, provided that they abide by the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0. The bot has features that you will find really handy when it comes to Discord Server Moderation. Because SudoBot is a result of our own experiences and ways to moderate servers more productively, written in lines of code. We added the things we felt a need for.

SudoBot was free, is free and will remain free and open source forever.

What does "SudoBot" mean?

SudoBot is the combination of "sudo" and "bot". "sudo" is a widely known and used program in the Unix/Linux ecosystems to do administrative tasks. It means "Substitute User Do". However, in case of SudoBot, "sudo" means "Super User Do". Since SudoBot is a moderation bot and moderators are those who usually have special permissions (or "super powers"), we've considered them as "Super Users", and thus the name.
