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 don’t know specifically what the content of the repo was. I just got a mail with hundred mentions from the repo truth/truth, Issue 777 called “<racial slur> balls”. It was already gone when I had the time to look it up.
