Why Server Owners Are Looking for Carl Bot Alternatives
Carl bot removed music
Carl bot discontinued its music feature. If your server needs both moderation and music, Spacey Boi is the answer — full SoundCloud music with queue, playlists, and interactive controls alongside a complete mod toolkit.
Polls built in
Carl bot doesn't have a poll command. Spacey Boi's /poll creates interactive polls with persistent buttons directly inside Discord — no external tools needed.
Full moderation suite at no cost
Spacey Boi's entire moderation stack — ban, kick, mute, timeout, warn (add/remove/list), lock, slowmode, bulk delete, nick, and role management — is free for every server.
Welcome & auto-role, free
Set a custom welcome channel and message with /welcome, and automatically assign a role to every new member with /autorole — both free with no server-count limits.
Privacy-first architecture
Spacey Boi never reads or stores your members' messages. No personal data is persisted beyond what's needed to deliver a specific feature.
Under 100ms response time
Every slash command on Spacey Boi responds in under 100ms. No lag during moderation actions — kick, ban, and mute commands execute instantly.
Where Carl Bot Still Wins
Reaction roles & server logging
Carl bot's reaction role system and server audit logging are well-built features that Spacey Boi does not currently offer. If your server relies on self-assignable reaction roles or detailed logging, Carl bot remains strong for those specific use cases. You can run both bots alongside each other — Carl bot for reaction roles and logs, Spacey Boi for moderation, music, welcome, and polls.
