Jodel’s Own Safeguards

Effective Moderation and Content Management

Jodel combines human moderation, machine learning, and algorithms to monitor content and quickly respond to rule violations.

  • All images and videos go through pre-moderation before being published.
  • 90% of this visual content is reviewed automatically using image recognition systems.
  • Text is filtered using a keyword-detection system to block inappropriate posts before they go live.
  • Flagged content is reviewed via Jodel’s moderation process in under two minutes, with over 90% accuracy.

These measures help ensure a high-quality, advertiser-friendly environment.

Users (orange) can downvote posts (5 downvotes hides a post) and report rule violations.

Moderators (yellow) are selected users with enough karma and reliability. They review flagged content, but the algorithm makes final decisions and continuously evaluates moderators’ accuracy.

Channel Moderation (pink) applies extra oversight on channels like celebrity, influencer, or school-specific groups – often managed by Jodel staff or designated hosts.

Admins (purple) are Jodel employees who handle emergency cases and can instantly ban users if needed.
