Your blocklist is the worst moderator on your team.
It has no context, it never learns, and it treats every instance of a word identically. “I will kill you” and “you killed the presentation” are the same event to a blocklist.
It’s also the first thing most teams reach for, rt of moderation that feels completely under your control.
I’m not saying turn it off. I’m saying go read what yours actually caught last week. Most people never have.

Moderating live video means accepting you can’t undo anything.
Chat has a queue. You can hold a message, score it, remove it before anyone reads it.
Live video has no queue. It has already been seen.
So the question changes. Not “can I stop this frame” but “can I stop the next cement acts on the participant. Warn, then blur or mute, then remove them from the room.
The content you can’t take back. The next ten minutes you can.

If you need a speech-to-speech model for your app/project, Phonic-1 is the best alternative to GPT-Live-1, Gemini 3.8 Live, and Grok Voice 3. I tried it for iOS/SwiftUI in this demo with 41 natural-sounding AI voices in 50 languages. 👇

Five weeks to Black Friday. Here’s what I’d change in your moderation config before then.
🔵 Set flood and rate limits against your peak minute, not your daily average.
🔵 Check any rule keyed to account age, because a lot of your December users will be brand new.
🔵 Make sure something counts flags across messages per account, not just per message.
🔵 Default gray-area categories to limited reach rather than removal while your team is thin.
🔵 Staff the review queue to the hours after the event, not during it.
The whole list is an afternoon of work, and every item is harder to do in December.

Sharing some advice as a trust & safety leader:
Don't staff up for a big event like it’s a different animal.
Case in point: the first two World Series games had 45% more flagged content. But? The harm mix didn’t move at all. Racism was at 10% both nights + on a day with no gamethe same on big nights, you just get more of it.
Build the config that fits your Tuesday 🙃

Indiana beat Michigan in overtime on Saturday. I’m a Hoosier, so I spent most of it with my hands over my face. 🙈
Look at the chat. Nobody was being abused.... they were reacting to the game. “This team is ass” and “you are ass” look the same to a keyword filter. But to a ely different.
If your moderation can’t tell them apart, you have a context problem.

Stop stitching
Here's how most platforms end up moderating...
One vendor for text. Another for images. Another for video. A separate tool for the review queue.
Four contracts. Four dashboards. Zero shared context.
At Stream, text, images, video, audio, usernames, and ough one engine and land in one queue.
Your mods deserve one place to work 🙃

Our Software Engineer @adityaalifn built an AI agent that investigates production issues for our chat team. Every claim cites a query or a line of code, and only engineers can approve a fix.

We published our moderation benchmark. Latency and throughput measured on live production traffic over seven days, running customers’ own policies rather than a test set.
35ms median on text. 300ms to score a video frame. Over 1,500 requests a second at peak.

If you're an #iOS developer working with agents, there's really no more excuses that your app designs are not engaging and unique.
There are a few skills that you can install that really make a difference! See the video with all of them in the first comment in the 🧵.

Bounce. Don't ban.

They're fans who just watched a brutal call at the buzzer 🫠

Just applied XP style on our @getstream_io demo app on iOS. (Only component and theme changes, no other UI changes). It's interesting 😅
