What coordinated attacks look like

Not all online abuse arrives one comment at a time. Some of it is organised. After a match result, a news story, or a post that reaches the wrong audience, comments can flood in by the hundreds within minutes.

Anti-LGBTQ+ communities mobilise around Pride posts. Racist campaigns follow athletes after a poor performance. Antisemitic pile-ons hit Jewish public figures after politically charged news cycles. Islamophobic waves surge after terrorist attacks regardless of the target. These are coordinated campaigns, the goal is volume, to flood your comment section and make you feel there's no point fighting it.

A single abusive comment is manageable. Five hundred in an hour is a different problem.

How Fendr handles volume

Fendr doesn't have a limit on how many comments it can process at once. It evaluates every comment against your protection profile the moment it's posted, whether that's one comment in a quiet hour or five hundred in the first minute after a post goes viral for the wrong reasons.

Each comment is evaluated individually, in real time, and removed before it appears if it's abusive. The fact that hundreds are arriving at once doesn't change the process, it just means Fendr is doing it hundreds of times simultaneously. By the time you open Instagram to check, the pile-on has already been handled.

What this means in practice

  • No manual intervention required, You don't need to be online when an attack starts. Fendr is already working.
  • No visible evidence of the attack, Because comments are removed in real time, your audience sees nothing.
  • Full record in your dashboard, Everything caught during an attack is logged, what happened, when, and from which accounts.
  • Repeat attackers caught faster, If the same accounts from a previous campaign come back, Fendr recognises them.

During one coordinated attack on a public figure's account, Fendr removed over 3,500 abusive comments in real time, out of 6,300 total. None of them went live.
