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.

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.

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.

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 38 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

Turn off downvotes so you don’t have to care

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

That’s a great response. Makes me really respect the people who run Codeberg.

I woke up to an email saying ni***r balls lol

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 days ago

Did you subscribe to the "ni***r balls" newsletter?

[–] jollyroberts@jolly-piefed.jomandoa.net 9 points 6 days ago

Same! Very confusing thing first thing in the morning

[–] einkorn@feddit.org 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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, 😅

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Got the tag email last night. The user was named @truth and all I had was an email titled "N***er Balls".

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.

[–] joemat@23.social 4 points 6 days ago

@vortexal @opensource @RmDebArc_5 I got the same emails - and sine I was curious I opened the URL (after carefully checking that it really pointed to codeberg). And I was really impressed that the @Codeberg team obvviously already reacted and removed the project. Thanks for talking care!

[–] slug@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

so interested in what the “several projects advocating tolerance and equal rights” were, do we know?

Codeberg seems to be down atm. I hope they aren't under an even bigger attack

[–] paequ2@lemmy.today 6 points 6 days ago

Yeah, they were definitely down again: https://lemmy.today/post/23792488

And they definitely got spammed again.
