Discord is a voice, video and text communication service used by over a hundred million people to hang out and talk with their friends and communities. They have 150 million monthly active users, 19 million active servers per week and 4 billion server conversation minutes daily.
The popular social platform just announced “AutoMod” as one of its latest features in a recent update. “AutoMod” is an autonomous moderation tool built directly into the platform to help take the strain off human moderators and safeguard communities.
The autonomous moderation tool will apparently scan messages for spam and slurs. When a user types a message, the automod checks for flagged words and phrases before the post goes live. If it finds something, it will flag the message, notify the moderators and block the message.
AutoMod is now available on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Alongside the official launch of “AutoMod”, Discord is also letting more servers offer paid memberships to their users and is adding new features to manage these premium subscriptions.
