Weekly Update: Moderation Voting Listings
Summary
Mr. Anoop's server announces moderation improvements using confidence levels to reduce false positives, deeper voting integration with review nudges, and a rollout of a new server listing ranking algorithm favoring higher-quality and trending servers. The team is exploring monetization features and notes Stripe added UPI and PIX support for India and Brazil.
Here’s a quick update on what we’ve been working on over the past week:
-
Moderation: We’ve made another round of changes that should result in fewer false positives. The biggest change is adding confidence levels, so we’ll only remove text and images when we’re highly confident they violate our moderation rules. Please keep an eye on this next week and let us know if you see any false positives.
-
Voting and reviews: We’ve started integrating voting more deeply into the bot to encourage members to vote naturally within your communities. We also made a small flow change: if someone who’s been in your server for a while votes for the first time but hasn’t left a review, we’ll gently nudge them to review as well. More bot-side improvements are coming.
-
Server listing: About 90% of users who view your server listing will now see a new version of our ranking algorithm. We’ll share a blog post soon with more details on how it works. In short, higher-quality servers will get more time on the front page. We’ll also reserve dedicated slots for newer or trendy servers, so they still have a chance to get visibility.
-
Monetization: We’re starting to explore different monetization features. It’s a slower process, but hopefully we’ll have some mockups and more to share next week.
One other piece of great news: Stripe, our main payment provider, recently added UPI and PIX support for the Indian and Brazilian markets. I know we have a few communities in those regions, so this should open up some interesting possibilities as we work on monetization.
