Keep hate out of your comments

Hide hate spam in comments

By inro.social

Keep hate out of your Instagram comments with an automated moderation rule that hides hate spam and archives it for review.

What it does

• Triggers on comments labeled as hate_spam across all posts.
• Automatically hides the offending comment from public view.
• Moves the hidden comment to a dedicated folder (ID 11145) for review and record-keeping.
• Replies to the original comment are allowed (if enabled by the user), but the visible surface remains clean.

How it works

1) A new comment on any post is evaluated for type hate_spam.
2) If matched, the automation executes the hide_comment action.
3) The comment is then added to the hidden folder 11145.

When to use

• To maintain a civil, welcoming feed without manual moderation at scale.
• For high-traffic accounts where hate comments overwhelm your team.
• When you want to preserve evidence for later review or reporting.

Notes

• This rule focuses on hate spam; other negative or off-topic comments are unaffected.
• You can customize the hidden-folder target (change folder_id) as needed.
