Omegle seems to try to mitigate issues with nudity be creating two different sections for users to choose: one for adult content and one for normal conversations. Seems somewhat effective.
Came here to say this. Chatroulette added unnecessary 'features' that just introduced more friction into the experience (as it were). Which seems to have meant users gravitating to Omegle's bare bones (no pun intended) approach.
Hey there,
This was somewhat mentioned in other comments but I wonder why did you decide to invest such an effort on ML solutions whereas UX (splitting to filtered and unfiltered) seems to yield good results. Was it marketing?
I'm looking for someone to fund an Indian dessert cart/food truck idea I have. You pay a fixed amount and receive some dessert at random. And it's called Chaat Roulette.

It created a filtered channel, now known as Random Chat, designed to exclude nudity, alongside an Unmoderated channel.
Strangely, they intend to discontinue the unfiltered section in the near future.
The unfiltered channel remains popular, but usage is shrinking, and Ternovskiy plans to eliminate it by the middle of 2021.
My gut feeling is that will just lead to mature content creators attempting to trick the filter, and I imagine they will be successful.
Omegle might be doing even better.
I am in need of professionals to help make the site better - thus I am hiring product managers, c-level executives, developers, designers.

Seems like it could be solved with ratings or karma. Get your social score up, that kind of thing.
