Background

Online slander and harassment are serious social issues. DYSTOPIA aims to prevent both intentional and unintentional harm through an impartial AI filter—protecting users not only from being hurt but also from inadvertently hurting others.

Key Features

  1. AI-based moderation: Detects slander and other inappropriate expressions.
  2. Automatic rewriting: Converts detected expressions into appropriate wording before posting.
  3. Community-refined rules: Paid members can view, vote on, and propose AI moderation rules to improve them over time.

Motif

DYSTOPIA draws inspiration from George Orwell’s dystopian novel "1984," including an homage to the authoritarian presence of "BIG BROTHER." It serves as a social experiment exploring how AI-driven moderation affects human communication.
