Forum² Admin AWS Posted Monday at 17:56 Forum² Admin Posted Monday at 17:56 Starting today, we will be removing the Discourse Akismet plugin and will instead enable Discourse AI - Spam detection by default for hosted customers on Starter and Standard plans. Why are we making this change? Over the past few weeks, we’ve found our AI spam detector to deliver a superior performance over Akismet. We’ve had over 126 sites extensively using it and within Meta, we’ve personally seen over 96% success rate in detecting spam. On top of the performance, the setup would now be a default experience with customization and flexible options, should you need it. What do I need to do? If you are on our Starter or Standard hosting, nothing at all! The change would happen automatically in the background. You will no longer see Akismet within the plugins. You will now see the AI spam detector turned on in the AI plugin setting using a Discourse-hosted open-weights LLM If you have the AI plugin disabled, then you would manually need to turn on AI spam detector and select an LLM I already have AI spam detection enabled! If you already have AI spam detector enabled via What's New experiments, then you can safely ignore this announcement since you already have it! Why is this change only for Starter and Standard? As usual, the rollout of changes in our hosting begin with the starting tiers and are gradually expanded to cover all tiers. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic General Forums - Where People Converse
