Noticed some nasty spam in my inbox this morning, had some trouble getting in to codeberg's site initially, now see the above message.
Respectfully, this isn't a "far-right" attack but a plain trolling attempt because reacting like this shows you're an easy target.
You should try to remove such content quietly. Creating publicity about attempts will only encourage trolls.
Original title is: We stay strong against hate and hatred.
Does codeberg just not have proper limits? Why would you let someone mention 100 users in a single message and create like 800+ issues with one account in a very short time span
I got a couple of these mention notification emails this morning.
The only content in the email was the list of accounts they mentioned on that one, and 2 words.
The 2 words came off like some 5 year-old repeating bad words they'd heard, and giggling.
Not right-wing propaganda. More like a mentally impaired person. Or someone gloating over power they had to abuse the site with impunity, and not actually caring about the payload, so picking the most juvenile thing that came to mind.
Codeberg is good, and doesn't deserve this.
Hopefully, whomever is vandalizing Codeberg will realize they can be doing more positive things with their time and skill development. And get counseling help, if things are bothering them.
Who can she a light on where these claims „far right forces“ originate? What were these spam emails saying?

Apart from jokes, why appealing to victimization when you have internet trolls bombing your system?
Trolls will always troll, and it's idiotic to blame far-whatever stuff always. If you have an online platform, you should at least keep your site safe from trolls and spammers.
They should stop doing victim-hood things, recognize their site was attacked by internet trolls and fix that thing. Everyone who have online services (including myself) knows this is a common issue.
Our site have attacks from radical left comments instead, and we don't do this "oh no, political extremism is too far, hate is never accepted", instead, we just delete the comments, try our best to keep them out from our platform and that's it.
Trolls will post extremism from left, right, anarchist, porn, ads, whatever in order to disrupt services
How that drama unfolded? Where did it started?
I got the spam message with racist words and then this email:
>Dear users,
>earlier today, you might have received a notification email from our systems that contained abusive and offending content, and we apologize for the disturbing message.
>Please understand that no data from our platform was leaked. The emails were generated from our servers due to the notification settings of your user account, which is set to generate a notification whenever someone mentions your username in a conversation. The abuser had no access to your email address and was only using public information from our platform to abuse the notification feature.
>We have published a more detailed statement and explanations about the incident on our blog: https://blog.codeberg.org/we-stay-strong-against-hate-and-ha...
>Thank you for your understanding and stay safe. We are currently working to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
>Kind Regards >Your team from Codeberg e.V.
