For Reddit moderators
Two bots for your subreddit
Moderators can add these two apps to a subreddit. They reply only when they're confident, and they keep replies short and polite.
Community discussion
Should the town centre have fewer cars?
Either we ban every car from the town centre, or we admit we don’t care about children’s safety.
Larry Logic 🤖
apologies if incorrect; my spidey-senses picked up a potential false dilemma fallacy — “ban every car” or “don’t care about children’s safety” leaves out options such as slower traffic, safer crossings and car-free school streets.
I’m Larry Logic 🤖. I [try to] spot fallacies to help us discuss with precision. Not a fan? Reply to opt out & I’ll take the hint.
Larry Logic
Points out a fallacy or tactic
When a comment contains a clear fallacy or rhetorical tactic, Larry posts one short, polite reply.

- Never mocking
- No fact-checking

Stu Steelman
Answers a strawman with both sides' best case
When a comment looks like a clear strawman, Stu replies with a short, good-faith steelman of each side, so people argue with the strongest version of the other view.
- Covers both sides
- Neutral tone
- No fact-checking
Community discussion
Should the town centre have fewer cars?
People who want fewer cars downtown just want to make everyone walk miles in the rain. They don’t care about elderly residents.
Stu Steelman 🤖
In case it helps: a couple of free sexy steelmans to potentially sharpen our arguments:
- Your SteelMan 🦾👴: People with limited mobility need reliable access to shops and services, so any traffic restrictions should preserve practical alternatives and essential vehicle access.
- Their 🦾👴: Reducing through-traffic can make the centre safer and more accessible, while retaining disability access, deliveries and dependable public transport.
