Sign-up takes a few minutes. No card needed.

Targeted for who you are.

Anti-LGBTQ+ abuse online targets who you are, your identity, your relationships, your right to be visible without being made to feel that visibility is a provocation.

Much of it is explicit, slurs, threats, direct targeting. Some arrives disguised as moral concern, religious belief, or political opinion, concern trolling that any LGBTQ+ person recognises immediately for what it is. Fendr removes both.

The coordinated dimension is significant. Anti-LGBTQ+ campaigns are often organised, communities that mobilise around a target, flooding accounts in waves. Pride month, political debates, any post that reaches beyond your usual audience are the trigger points. For trans and non-binary people, and for LGBTQ+ people from ethnic minority or religious backgrounds, the abuse compounds across multiple identities at once.

Reporting homophobia rarely works.

Reporting to Instagram rarely results in removal, 70% of reported hate speech stays up. (Appeals Centre Europe, 2026) And anti-LGBTQ+ abuse is specifically designed to evade automated moderation, coded language, dog whistles, religious framing, and comments presented as political opinion rather than targeted hate.

A homophobic comment left visible isn't just seen by the person it targets. It's seen by every LGBTQ+ person who visits, including people newly out or still questioning. Removing it in real time means it changes nothing for them, they visit, they see what they came to see, and the comment was never there.

What Fendr does

Fendr removes abusive comments in real time, your audience never sees them. Every action is logged in your dashboard, and if it removes something you'd rather keep, you can reinstate it.

Explicit and coded abuse

Slurs, dog whistles, coded language, and comments framed as religious or political opinion, understood immediately by anyone they target.

Handles coordinated attacks

When an organised campaign targets your account, Fendr is already working before the volume gets unmanageable.

Built around your identity

The abuse targeting a trans woman is different from what a gay man faces. Fendr understands the distinction and builds around your context.

Catches compounded abuse

For LGBTQ+ people who also face racial, antisemitic, or islamophobic targeting, Fendr removes abuse across every dimension.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does Fendr catch coded and "concern trolling" homophobia?

Yes. It reads the meaning and intent of a comment rather than matching keywords, so it catches dog whistles and abuse framed as opinion.

Can it handle a coordinated pile-on around a Pride post?

Yes, it processes comments in real time, so when an organised wave hits, the abusive ones are removed automatically as they arrive.

Which platforms does it support?
