I personally prefer to use a chat system that uses an open standard, is not moderated and requires me to moderate the channels I manage/own. Being an open standard means I can use a generic client with regex filters that could be conditionally applied to usernames, chat text, links, emojis, whatever I want. That is just my own preference but should say something given how lazy I am ... that I would be willing to take the time to ban something myself.
At least one of the IRC daemons [1] for example allows people to toggle any of their channels to have a word filter on/off. +G/-G Channel operators can contribute to word filters or ask an IRC admin to remove one. Since I am linking an IRC daemon I should link one of the web front-ends [2] as so few these days use IRC. I assume these days both of the linked projects are probably dockerized and mostly pre-configured.
As a side note and real world example anyone can already do this today with anything that uses HTML because it is an open standard. [3] I have not seen the word "butt" in ages.
