Tangled has introduced a web of trust system to combat LLM-generated spam in open source contributions. Users can vouch for or denounce others, with visual indicators helping maintainers identify trustworthy contributors. The system includes thoughtful design elements like reason fields, social circle limitations, and plans for vouch decay over time.
Background
LLM tools have lowered the barrier to code contribution but increased the volume of subtly incorrect submissions that burden maintainers with review work. Traditional moderation systems struggle with the scale of AI-generated content.
