RmDebArc_5Codeberg is currently suffering from hate campaigns due to far-right forces
CaptainBasculinwhat’s the point in attacking a source control website anyways?
RobotZap10000It’s probably to make minorities feel unsafe, even in their own spaces.
Well the open source crowd is probably one of the most diverse communities in so many ways.
Everything from wife-killers, toenail-eaters, to geniuses that rolled a one in social skills. From Mexico, to Israel, to Indonesia. From a kid in the library who can’t afford a computer, to millionaires running a data centre in their basement.
Diversity is one-third of DEI, which currently is public enemy number one. So here we are…
Everything from wife-killers, toenail-eaters, to geniuses
Stop spying on me please.
devfuuuYes yes… Dear genious 😌
Such actions are typically indicative of having a micropenis.
Such actions are typically indicative of having a micropenis. being a colossal jerk.
Please avoid using denigrating terms.
offended by micropenis insult 🤔
Classic case of coop the resistance by introducing completely different talking points.
FOSS is not left or right, it’s FOSS. Those trying to change it to something else is trying to coop it.
There is no controversy. The blue vs red lens does not make sense in this context.
Sharing your work without cost to people who need it is pretty solidly left. But it certainly isn’t red vs blue, not least because party political colors vary by country and in the US, neither refers to a left-wing party, and in most countries red aligns with left.
Kras MazovFOSS is political. Sure, there are right wingers in FOSS projects, but the nature of it is leftist.
i see it as more of an evolution.
Like patent system, litigious closed source software produced very little and what it did produce did not have funding to be properly maintained
whereas
FOSS fostered peer collaboration improving the entire ecosystem of how to go about producing better software, produced alot, and what it did produce did not see much funding to be properly maintained
Before a political ideology claims victory i insist maintenance be fully funded.
Claiming victory while marching off a cliff is laughable.
No party represents producers. Otherwise H1B visas would not be a thing.
Did Codeberg do something/take some stance to attract the attention of the far right? It feels like such an arbitrary target?
FerkFrom what I gather, I don’t think it’s about any stance from Codeberg in general, it seems they are attacking “several projects advocating tolerance and equal rights” in particular. They just happen to be hosted in Codeberg.
Either that, or it’s not selling out to corporate exploitation/AI like Github is and the ancaps hate that.
All of the above.
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
einkornNot necessarily a phishing mail. I got tagged in an issue that some idiot created and codeberg dutifully sent me a mail notification.
me too, but hopefully the issue is now fixed and those assholes kept banned
Same. Was very confusing.
りん〜I woke up today to an email saying ni***r balls lol
Issue #1113 by any chance? :D
Issue 572 xd
Same! Very confusing thing first thing in the morning
Did you subscribe to the “ni***r balls” newsletter?
AxiomShellIf the far-right hates Codeberg, that only tells me Codeberg is doing something right.
jagged_circleWell left but yes
macnielThe Message clearly stated that it was far-right, not left.
JackbyDevThe joke being “they must be doing something left”
I don’t get it, sorry.
Left instead of right. That’s all there is to the joke. Replacing the word right with left because it’s not a right wing thing.
Codeberg isn’t doing something right. They’re doing something left by opposing these people on the right.
It also took me a second but I got there
Is the term “far-right” used to mean anyone who doesn’t obey marching orders and won’t conform to opinions of others?
I Cast FistNo, it’s used to mean anyone who’s extremely likely to obey marching orders, dancing orders, camping orders, attack orders (jan 6th on USA, jan 8th on Brazil) and conform to the opinions of their masters
Em Fortaleza, apoiadores de Bolsonaro fazem coreografia para o candidato
No, anarchists are in the left.
Yes, anarchists are leftists. I am asking about the context that people use the term “far right” as a collective insult. The common theme I see is it seems people are labelled “far right” as a tactic by those who live through the internet and not outside shaking hands with new people, done as tactic online to prevent anyone speaking bluntly that is not terrified of words, or disagreements and objections.
far right is nazis pal
xigoiIs there any evidence that the people doing the attack are Nazis? Based on the content of the e-mails, they seem more like 13-year-old edgelords.
What my comment is replying to:

Secret MusicLiterally the opposite.
After the French Revolution, parliament was arranged so that the people who supported democracy and freedom literally sat on the left hand side; and all of the freeloading, self serving, bootlicking monarchists that wanted to return to rule by a king or queen sat on the right hand side.
Far right are that but more extreme. They don’t just lick boots but also the assholes of the politicians and billionaires that they worship like gods.
No, it means “reactionary.” Expand your vocabulary.
CadenzaWrong social network bub. You might be looking for gab.
Dude, do you think a group that hates “diversity” in its every shape and form is just “moderate”?
There is no such thing as diversity if nobody is allowed to reject what you believe in, reject your opinions, a la “diverse opinions and beliefs”.
Believing that certain groups must be eradicated isn’t covered under my tolerance of “diverse opinions”.
By your logic, you must show respect and acceptance to libertarians or anyone who follows religious teachings if they are not trying to punch or shoot anyone. Other than that, that’s what criminal law is for, to protect everyone from execution or assassination, but rejecting people, refusing to associate certain types of people because they find certain kind of people disgusting does not equate to planning mass murder.
Do you think one should also show acceptance of highly defamatory speech, and only punish the very people that act out on them?
Publicly banning opinions and beliefs is the fastest way to lead to murder and physical violence. Most commonly, murdering those that have been banned for not conforming. But if you can find other areas of personal interests and enjoyment to build friendships with people who disagree with your opinions, the collective whole is not so hostile.
How can we help?
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
GnuLinuxDudeCodeberg is one of the best websites on the Internet right now. This blog update of theirs doubly confirms it for me.
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.
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 he Forgejo code, for example disroot.
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.
