Moderation bot for XMPP

KaikOut is a portmanteau of Kaiko and Out.

Kaiko (懐古) translates from Japanese to "Old-Fashioned".

Because spam has never been in fashion, unless it is served on a plate.

KaikOut is a moderation bot for the XMPP communication network.

KaikOut is an XMPP bot that suprvises group chat activity and assists in blocking and preventing of abusive and unsolicited type of messages and activities.

KaikOut is designed primarily for the XMPP communication network (aka Jabber). Visit https://xmpp.org/software/ for more information.

You can run your own KaikOut instance as a client, from your own computer, server, and even from a Linux phone (i.e. Droidian, Kupfer, Mobian, NixOS, postmarketOS), as well as from Termux.

Good luck!
