If the far-right hates Codeberg, that only tells me Codeberg is doing something right.
Codeberg is one of the best websites on the Internet right now. This blog update of theirs doubly confirms it for me.
Can confirm, just got phishing mail “from Codeberg” containing the n word in its subject (?)
Same here. Such a jarring and upsetting way to start a morning
Same. Was very confusing.
me too, but hopefully the issue is now fixed and those assholes kept banned
I’ve never heard of codeberg. Can someone explain what it is, briefly?
Edit: I love being downvoted for asking a simple question. I thought I left reddit to get away from these twits.
The other answers are right, just explaining in simpler language in case anyone needs it:
Codeberg, like Gitlab and Github, is a site for hosting and managing code repositories. These make it easy for many people to collaborate on a software project, review code, keep track of changes and history, keep track of bugs and feature requests, and more.
Here’s an example of a (very active) code project to explore: https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacity (An audio editor based on Audacity)
The most famous code repo management tool, GitHub, was bought by Microsoft a few years ago, so reliable community-run alternatives like Codeberg are increasingly important.
Thanks!
It’s a code forge like Github or Gitlab. It uses open source technology on its backend and is often used by FOSS/privacy-minded projects.
It’s a thing for people to share git repositories and see the diffs and send changes. Common alternatives are gitlab and github. Codeberg is a fork community maintained after the original owners started to be weird and doing stuff that people didn’t like. It’s written in Go language. Small and fast for people to deploy themselves and maintain, in complete opposite from the common alternative people used gitlab which is a huge pain to self host and needs enormous resources.
That would be Forgejo. Codeberg is the hosting service which already existed running Gitea before it forked it and started developing it as Forgjo and moving to it from Gitea.
yes, didn’t want to add even more info. There’s other places using the Forgejo code, for example disroot.
I woke up to an email saying ni***r balls lol
Did you subscribe to the “ni***r balls” newsletter?
Same
That’s a great response. Makes me really respect the people who run Codeberg.
I’m not so sure it was an organized attack or rather a 12 year old kid who found out a stupid way of accomplishing a stupid thing.
I don’t know if there were other things done, but those 2 words I’ve read are more like 2 words a non-native kid would use rather than a far right manifesto, AFAIK, 😅
Got the tag email last night. The user was named @truth and all I had was an email titled “N***er Balls”.
Same. Thrice
I was wondering why I randomly received two emails that looked like spam from them, I originally thought they got hacked or something.
If you didn’t get the emails, they had the n-word in the title and contained a list of seemingly random users. It looked like what they did was create a fake project named “truth” and I’m guessing they had a bot create a bunch of fake issues for that project that just contained user names that the bot scraped from the website.
so interested in what the “several projects advocating tolerance and equal rights” were, do we know?
Got one of those and not even sure I have a codeberg account.
ok there was that time I left a comment on a librewolf issue
Apparently it’s feeling the Lemmy hug of death: https://archive.is/Z9Udy
Codeberg seems to be down atm. I hope they aren’t under an even bigger attack
I think that’s just you, it works fine for me
Hmm, might be. Up again now anyways, lasted for ~5 minutes
How can we help?
This kind of gave me a rally around the flag effect so I left a 10 USD donation.
I was thinking about building an explicitly socialist project on there so I hope it will compensate for maybe risking increasing said far-right attention in the future.
