Community moderation in Matrix

2026-02-01T09:30:00+01:00 for 00:30

Policy servers (MSC4284) are a new tool available to communities on Matrix to help reduce spam and other unwelcome content, but they aren't the only option. Communities have a whole suite of tools available to them to keep their users safe, such as moderation bots and in-client safety features.

In this talk, we'll cover the layers of Trust & Safety (T&S) tooling available to communities, how they work, and what harms they are typically best at mitigating. We'll also demonstrate how to set up a policy server in your community, and discuss what they might be able to do in the future.
