Yes, it’s automated and there is no need for the wordpress admin to approve a good comment.
But to validate a comment for foul language and slangs, which is called a toxicity check, it takes time, like many many seconds, to detect it.

The toxicity check connects to TensorFlow, here using TensorFlowJS, which is a Google’s product and the data sets used are on Google’s servers.

Yes, it connects to an API at toxicity.co.in which is again, my (free) service which runs on Deno at Deno Deploy – deno.com which in turn goes to Google for returning the results of toxicity. Sometimes it takes a minute or more to return the result and at times, it even times out. If it times out the admin has to manually validate the comment in wp-admin.

I want it to remain free forever and open-sourced.
There is so much of free stuff on the internet and even open-sourced.
I want to be part of the community and don’t intend on commercializing it.
But if toxicity service at my deno.com account take a hit on many requests, I will then have to shell out minimum $10/mo ($2 per million requests per month, $0.30/GiB outbound data transfer)
Even then that’s okay and I can fund that minimum amount, but if it goes beyong $10 a month, then I will seek funding of some sort.
