For athletes

They come for your performance. Then they come for who you are.

Fendr removes abusive, racist, and hateful comments before they go live on your Instagram. Your audience never sees them. You stay connected to your fans — without paying that price.

Sign-up takes two minutes. No card needed.

Every athlete knows what's waiting after a bad result.

After a difficult performance. After a controversial moment. After a result that makes the headlines. The comments flood in — and the abuse that comes with them is often the kind that targets who you are, not just what you did in the game.

Racial slurs. Threats. Comments designed to follow you home from the match.

Most athletes have been told the same things: ignore it, report it, take a break from social media. None of that actually stops it. And staying off social media isn't a solution — it's giving something up that you've earned.

By the time you report it, it's already done its damage.

You've already read it. It's already on your post. It's already been seen by everyone who visited your profile, already been liked by people who agree with it, already followed you off the pitch and into your home.

Reporting it to Instagram is the expected next step — but 70% of reported hate speech stays up anyway. (Appeals Centre Europe, 2026) By the time anything is reviewed, a coordinated pile-on has already landed thousands of comments. Fendr works the other way around: it removes abusive comments before they go live.

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.

I came off the pitch already bracing for what was waiting online. When I checked Instagram, Fendr had already handled all of it. I couldn't believe it.
