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

        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.
