Eliminating spam has been a massive priority for us at DEV (and the wider Forem ecosystem). If you’ve been with us for a while, you recall that thi...

Thrilled to see Gemini powering the safety of the DEV community and making it easier for human moderators!
This is amazing! And something that'll improve the quality of posts on this website.
Already has :)
Very much eager to see this new change😊
Appreciate this update @ben - having recently gained Trusted Member status, this is great news.
Can I ask though, will this enable the team at DEV to automatically delete profiles from gambling websites and the like? Since my posts have gained a modest amount of traction the number of followers I have to flag and block are growing on a daily basis.
Happy to moderate new posts themselves - honoured to be given that ability, to be honest - but the follower situation also needs addressing.
I’ve definitely noticed that — compared to some other platforms whose names I’ll politely avoid — dev.to isn’t plagued by endemic spam. There’s nothing more frustrating than publishing an article only to see the very first comment be an ad for online casinos — whether they’re in Las Vegas or Pakistan doesn’t make much difference.
On a side note, has anyone noticed the broken image link when trying to embed a GitHub repo? That’s why I always stick to plain links, even though I’d love to use the built-in embed feature!
What about marking as spam the same article from different accounts in a time span? I've seen that behavior before.
What about spam in languages other than English?
Awesome!
Spam comments are also really annoying
Skillful coding on your part - and Ruby on Rails still rules!
Are completely off topic posts considered spam? I keep seeing obvious SEO posts.
Buenísimo !
Awesome !!!
Thanks for sharing! :)
Love the hybrid approach here of using upstream algorithms + Gemini for scaling moderation without losing accuracy!
Great example of how AI like Gemini can effectively support moderation and keep developer communities high-quality.
Great job on implementing this to support building community!
This is fascinating; I'm really curious if GitHub has something like this as Repo Maintainer burnout has been building for years.
I really like these newer way on the improvements for the Spam's on DEV 👍🏻👍🏻
would never say there's gemini behind it, awsome!
