Most social platforms handle moderation after damage is done—users report a toxic comment, a human or bot reviews it hours later, and the victim has already read it.
While building Solvry (an anonymous peer-support web app for teens), zero-toxicity was non-negotiable. I needed pre-ingestion moderation fast enough to validate content without adding lag to the UI.
How it works:
User submits a post or response.
The payload hits real-time AI moderation middleware evaluating toxicity, harassment, and crisis intent.
Harassing/toxic content is intercepted and dropped immediately.
High-risk crisis signals auto-surface immediate, localized hotline resources (20+ countries supported).
The UI Approach:
I opted for an Apple-inspired, high-contrast minimalist interface—zero clutter, zero algorithm-driven ragebait, and full anonymity.Check out the live build here
Would love to hear how other devs are handling edge-case prompt injection and moderation latencies in real-time apps
