Is Pump.fun the New Circus? 🎪 Live Streaming Returns with a Twist!

Ah, the illustrious realm of Pump.fun, a veritable Eden of memecoins, has once again graced us with its presence! After a five-month hiatus, reminiscent of a sulking diva, the platform has decided to reintroduce its live-streaming service—albeit for a mere 5% of its users. One can only wonder if this is a grand gesture or merely a whimsical dalliance with danger. 🎭

Once a stage for the most audacious of scams, this Solana-based platform had the audacity to suspend its live streaming last November, following a series of broadcasts that could only be described as a tragicomedy of errors—violent threats and self-harm proclamations that would make even the most jaded of souls gasp in horror.

“Pump.fun livestreaming has been rolled out to 5% of users with industry standard moderation systems in place and transparent guidelines,”

— Alon Cohen, the co-founder, in a post that surely had the internet abuzz.

With the return of this streaming option, one must marvel at the meticulous selection process that has deemed 5% of users worthy of this privilege. New moderation systems, akin to a watchful eye of a disapproving parent, have been deployed, alongside guidelines that are as clear as mud. The aim? To cultivate a creative social environment while simultaneously shielding users from the perils of illegal or dangerous content. How delightfully ironic! 😏

Fear not, dear users! All forms of violence, animal endangerment, and explicit threats to the youth have been banished from this digital utopia. However, one must remain vigilant, for some NSFW content may still linger like an unwelcome guest at a dinner party, as the platform retains the right to judge appropriateness on a case-by-case basis. How very democratic!

It appears that the platform’s meteoric rise in user numbers outpaced the capacity of its moderators, leading to the suspension of live streaming. Users, in their infinite creativity, resorted to perilous promotion tactics, threatening violence and self-harm to inflate the value of their beloved memecoins. Thus, the live streaming operations were placed on an indefinite hold, while the platform endeavored to redevelop its content moderation system.
