Content Safety at Loclie
Protecting our community with multi-layered AI moderation. Every post and comment is checked automatically before it appears.
The 3-layer safety pipeline
Content passes through three independent safety checks. Each layer catches what the others might miss.
Layer 1: Instant Keyword Filtering
~0msBlocks explicit content, slurs, and grooming patterns before anything else runs. A curated blocklist catches the most harmful content instantly.
Zero latency. No network calls. Content is rejected before it reaches any database.
Layer 2: AI Content Analysis
~200msOpenAI classifies content across categories: hate speech, harassment, sexual content, violence, and self-harm. Nuanced detection catches content that keyword lists miss.
Understands context and intent. Catches coded language, dogwhistles, and subtle harassment.
Layer 3: Enhanced Protection
~300msLlama Guard 3 — a purpose-built safety classifier — adds an additional layer for communities that need the strictest moderation.
Catches edge cases the other layers might miss.
How it works
Automatic checking
Every post and comment is checked automatically before it appears. No manual review queue, no delay for safe content.
Instant rejection
Flagged content is rejected instantly with a clear message explaining why. Users know immediately — no ambiguity.
Server-side enforcement
The system runs server-side. It cannot be bypassed from the client, disabled by browser extensions, or circumvented by tech-savvy users.
Community protections
Community groups get additional safeguards beyond the standard pipeline. Technology and human oversight, working together.
- Layered Moderation
Group posts and comments run through keyword filtering and AI analysis before they appear.
- Owner-Appointed Moderators
Group owners appoint moderators for human oversight. Technology and people working together.
- Membership-Gated Groups
Private groups limit who can see or post content. Invite codes control who joins.
- Content Invisible to Outsiders
Non-members cannot see private group posts, comments, or member lists. Group content stays within the community.
Built for regional Australia
Loclie is built for regional Australian communities. We take the safety of minors seriously — not as an afterthought, but as a foundational requirement. Our content safety system was designed from day one, not bolted on later.
