Pump.fun, a Solana-based meme coin platform, has suspended its livestream feature indefinitely following widespread community backlash over harmful content broadcasts.

In a community notice , the platform stated that the livestream feature would remain paused while it works on implementing stronger safeguards and infrastructure to ensure the proper use of the feature.

“To ensure the absolute safety of our users, we will be pausing the live streaming functionality on the site for an indefinite time period until the moderation infrastructure is ready to deal with the heightened levels of activity,” the notice stated.

The suspension comes in the wake of growing backlash over reports of harmful behavior streamed on the platform.

Users highlighted cases such as threats of self-harm, violence, and explicit acts being broadcast live.

A widely circulated post by X user Beau, a Pudgy Penguins safety project manager, brought attention to a livestream where an individual threatened suicide if their memecoin did not reach a specific market cap.

Beau urged pump.fun to deactivate the livestream feature entirely, calling it “out of control.”

Other shocking incidents included a user firing a gun out of a window as their coin’s price increased and a child threatening family members over a token’s performance.

Some users even issued threats of school violence tied to coin price movements.

These events sparked widespread demands from the crypto community for stricter content moderation, ultimately resulting in the platform pausing the livestream feature, as outlined in their community notice.
