The amount of digital material that is disseminated through various social media platforms has significantly increased in recent years. Online networks have gained popularity in recent years and have established themselves as goto resources for news, information, and entertainment. Nevertheless, despite the many advantages of using online networks, mounting evidence indicates that an increasing number of malicious actors are taking advantage of these networks to spread poison and hurt other people. This work aims to detect abusive content in youtube comments written in the languages like Tamil, Tamil-English (codemixed), Telugu-English (code-mixed). This work was undertaken as part of the “DravidianLangTech@ RANLP 2023” shared task. The Macro F1 values for the Tamil, Tamil-English, and Telugu-English datasets were 0.28, 0.37, and 0.6137 and secured 5th, 7th, 8th rank respectively.
