For podcasters

You built an audience on honest conversation. Fendr keeps the abuse out of it.

Fendr removes hate, abuse, and harassment from your Instagram comments in real time — before your audience sees them and before they reach you.

Sign-up takes two minutes. No card needed.

The intimacy of the audience relationship is also the target.

Podcasters build something different. The audience relationship is intimate — people listen to your voice for hours, they come back every week, they feel like they know you. That connection is the product.

It also makes you a target in a specific way. When you take a position, interview a controversial guest, or cover a topic that attracts hostility, the hate comes not just for the content but for you — your identity, your credibility, your right to have a platform at all. And because your audience trusts you, hostile commenters know that damaging that trust is the most effective attack.

For podcasters who cover politics, religion, identity, or social issues, the abuse can be relentless and coordinated. For podcasters from marginalised communities — Jewish, Black, queer, Muslim podcasters — the identity-based dimension is constant, whether the episode is about identity or not.

The platforms aren't catching it.

Reporting abusive comments to Instagram rarely results in removal — 70% of reported hate speech stays up. (Appeals Centre Europe, 2026) And for podcasters who cover topics that attract organised hostility, the volume can make manual moderation impossible.

Fendr is proactive. It removes hate comments before they go live — before your audience sees them, before you have to spend your time managing abuse instead of making the show.

Removing it changes more than you think.

A hate comment left visible on your post doesn't just affect you. It signals to everyone who visits your profile that this space is unmoderated — and that more hate is welcome. Research into online behaviour consistently shows that visible hate shapes the environment and produces more of it, not less.

Removing abusive comments in real time doesn't just protect you from one comment. It changes what your comment section communicates to the thousands of people who see it.
