Respectify helps you build healthy conversation on your site. Comments are analysed before being published, and when users show common ways of writing unhelpful comments — ones that don’t contribute well to a good conversation — Respectify shows feedback and lets them edit.
You can guide healthy interaction, catch dogwhistles, keep comments on-topic, avoid objectionable material, filter spam, and more — ideal for sites serving marginalised communities, news sites covering sensitive topics, forums that have experienced brigading, political discussion where coded language is common, or any community where specific patterns tend to derail conversation. All of this is configurable in the Settings page.
Respectify’s feedback is intended to encourage and teach good communication. It’s not meant for censorship but for healthy engagement and understanding. We hope as your users write more comments, they will need Respectify’s feedback less and less.
Respectify is a commercial service (it’s meant to benefit the world, but it costs us money to run) so please <a href="https://respectify.ai" rel="nofollow ugc">sign up for an API key</a>.
<h3>Human-readable code</h3>
The plugin’s code can be found here: <a href="https://github.com/Respectify/respectify-wordpress" rel="nofollow ugc">github.com/Respectify/respectify-wordpress</a>
It uses the <a href="https://github.com/Respectify/respectify-php" rel="nofollow ugc">Respectify PHP SDK</a>, which is an async API using ReactPHP.
Full documentation on the API (the PHP library, plus the REST API it wraps) is available here: <a href="https://docs.respectify.ai/" rel="nofollow ugc">docs.respectify.ai</a>
