Feeds & Content Distribution
Timeline and feed systems that stay responsive as content volume grows.

Social
Social products face a problem most software doesn't: they get harder to run as they get more successful. Growth brings moderation load, abuse vectors, and infrastructure costs that scale faster than revenue.
We build community platforms, messaging systems, and social features with moderation tooling and abuse resistance designed in from the beginning — because retrofitting safety onto a growing community is brutal.

Messaging & Real-Time
Direct and group messaging with the reliability people expect from chat.
Moderation & Trust
Reporting flows, moderator queues, automated content classification, and audit trails — built alongside the features they police rather than after the first crisis.
Social Graph & Discovery
Follow and friend models, recommendation systems, and search that helps people find relevant communities instead of drowning in noise.
Communities that last vs. communities that burn out
Moderation added later
- Tooling built only after the first serious incident
- Moderators working through raw database queries
- Spam and abuse handled reactively, case by case
- Best contributors leave quietly before anyone notices
- Infrastructure costs scale faster than the community
Trust and safety from day one
- Report queues and bulk actions available at launch
- Purpose-built moderator tooling with audit trails
- Rate limiting and reputation built into the platform
- Health signals visible before members disengage
- Media and delivery costs modeled from the start

Frequently
Asked
Questions
A layered approach: automated classification for obvious violations, user reporting for the rest, and human review queues with efficient bulk tooling. Fully automated moderation isn't reliable enough alone.
Yes, using the Signal protocol or similar. Worth noting it constrains server-side moderation, so the trade-offs need deciding early.
Depends on your goals. We can build chronological, engagement-ranked, or hybrid feeds — and we'll be direct about how ranking choices shape community behavior.
Rate limiting, device fingerprinting, behavioral analysis, and progressive friction for suspicious accounts. It's an ongoing effort rather than a one-time fix.
Aggressive media optimization, tiered storage for older content, CDN caching, and feed fan-out strategies chosen to match your actual graph rather than a generic pattern.
Yes, including content, user accounts, and relationship graphs. Migration planning matters a lot here — communities are fragile during transitions.
Why 11Seas
Communities need tending
The engineering side of social products is well understood. The harder part is keeping a community healthy as it grows — which is a product and tooling problem long before it becomes a policy one.
