So the code hosting site Codeberg has been experiencing attacks by far right organizations for a bit now. Recently, the attacks escalated when someone created a repo and then mentioned a bunch of usernames in bulk. The result was that people includong myself received email notifications containing hate speech.
Codeberg did apologize but it really isn’t their fault https://blog.codeberg.org/we-stay-strong-against-hate-and-hatred.html
i got this too, really interested in what the actual backstory is, what projects were being targeted. but good for the codeberg team for standing up and calling this stuff out by name in the blog post. based.
Post the hate speech. Was it some notification? How did it happen? MR or something?
Apparently my account is too new to upload images
But I got an email that somebody had tagged me in an issue called “N****R BALLS”
So it’s not even coherent hate speech. How old was the person who posted that? 10?
Same here
I didn’t post it because I didn’t want to promote hate speech
Same here
Here we go
Thanks, I understand better. It’s difficult to block accounts posting crap on issues and MRs using their “legit” account. It reminds me that I wanted to subscribe to the Codeberg association and give them money. Now is the time to do this.
Yep, same here. I gotta say, I found it kinda funny in a… Laughing at a desperate troll attempt kinda way.
