	Dyno	Gait
Detection capability	Dyno's Automod evaluates messages and events against admin-configured thresholds inside a single server. Gait scores accounts by aggregating behavioral signals (timing, lifecycle, content rhythm) across every server running Gait, so a coordinated or automated account is visible through cross-server patterns even when its activity in any one server stays under Dyno's rule thresholds.	Behavioral signals across servers; never message content.
Accuracy trade-offs	Dyno's rule-based automod is precise on the thresholds it is configured for and silent on everything else. Gait's heuristic scorer is designed to surface automation patterns rule-based filters miss; it produces graded per-account scores (0.00 to 1.00, across five bands from confirmed_human to confirmed_automated) rather than binary verdicts, so moderators set the threshold and the action, and it requires at least 25 data points before scoring to avoid acting on thin signal.	Tunable per-guild thresholds; admin feedback loop.

Mature web-dashboard configuration with granular per-module controls — admins tune automod rules, autoroles, and command modules without slash commands or code.
Advanced Automod with finer rule granularity than most all-in-one bots (spam thresholds, mention/link/invite filters, configurable per-channel), plus a generous free tier.
Long operational history and a large install base, so most moderators already know the Dyno dashboard and its module layout.

Automod is rule-based and per-server: it acts on configured thresholds and content patterns within one server. It does not build a behavioral profile of an account to judge whether it is automated.
No cross-server visibility — an account that stays under Dyno's per-server thresholds in each community it joins is never correlated across them.
Dyno's detection is reactive to message/event rules; it has no graded 'how likely is this account automated' score for accounts that behave subtly rather than tripping an explicit rule.

Community that wants a highly configurable all-in-one bot — automod, autoroles, custom commands, starboard, and module management from one dashboard — and is not specifically being targeted by coordinated automated accounts.
Server that needs Dyno-specific features Gait does not provide, such as social-platform integrations, starboard, autoresponders, or forms.

Server seeing automated accounts that slip under Dyno's automod thresholds because each individual message or action looks benign.
Multi-server community that wants one suspect account flagged everywhere it appears, rather than re-detected from scratch in each server.
Moderators who want a per-account behavioral score with the Discord identity and an explanation of why it was flagged, not just a rule-match event.

Install Gait from usegait.dev and add it to your server — Gait runs alongside Dyno rather than replacing it.
Run /gait setchannel in the moderator channel where you want behavioral alerts delivered.
Keep Dyno enabled for automod, modules, and community features; Gait adds the cross-server behavioral bot-detection layer Dyno does not provide.
