Antispam Bot for Telegram

Introduction

eGenix has long been running a local user group meeting in Düsseldorf called Python Meeting Düsseldorf and we are using a Telegram group for most of our communication.

In the early days, the group worked well and we only had few spammers joining it, which we could well handle manually.

More recently, this has changed dramatically. We are seeing between 2-5 spam signups per day, often at night. Furthermore, the signups accounts are not always easy to spot as spammers, since they often come with profile images, descriptions, etc.

With the bot, we now have a more flexible way of dealing with the problem.

Features

• Low impact mode of operation: the bot tries to keep noise in the group to a minimum
• Several challenge mechanisms to choose from, more can be added as needed
• Flexible and easy to use configuration
• Only needs a few MB of RAM, so can easily be put into a container or run on a Raspberry Pi
• Can handle quite a bit of load due to the async implementation
• Works with Python 3.9+
• MIT open source licensed
