Conference Day Two - Wednesday 25th March 2026

9:30 AM Panel Discussion: Community Notes and Self-Moderation: Putting Safety in the Hands of Users

New approaches like “Community Notes” are shifting moderation from a centralised function to a collective one. By giving users tools to shape their own safety, platforms are exploring whether communities themselves can become effective moderators. This session will examine how these models work in practice, and what they mean for the future of T&S.

  • Building product features that empower users to take control of their safety
  • Community Notes and self-moderation: strengths, risks, and lessons learned so far
  • Using community inputs to surface trends and patterns in harmful behaviour
  • Evaluating the effectiveness of decentralised moderation versus traditional models
  • What community-driven safety could mean for the future of platform trust
