Codeberg down, berg down

Based on recent news I'm guessing this might be the result of a DDoS attack from the far-right
-
Could be, although codeberg goes down more than anything else I use so this just could just be normal.

I also wouldn't rule that possibility out.
I'm guessing an attack from the far-right as their unruly behavior has been flaring up globally and Codeberg literally yesterday was fending off attacks from the far-right so to me the timing seems supicious.

Hm. Got tagged on a spam post that just says "hi".

Ah, I didn't know you could
@moderationin the conversation. -
Before the ddos they were also spamming a certain n-word. Why are far-right groups targeting codeberg anyway?
-
It looks like someone is spmming the issue tracker of Codeberg/org with mass mentions
-
I got tagged in one called "Nigger balls".
Imagine waking up and seeting that email notification.
PS: Picture just to confirm:
-
The real reason is that I have no idea, regardless they're attacking a free and open source software project/developers that benefits everyone. Attacking them makes no sense.
Far-right extremists tend to act based on tribal emotions rather than with empathy and logic.
Give them anything as an 'enemy' and they're likely to see red and charge. -
Codeberg is up again!
And I got spammed too, does that mean I'm a good FOSS developer?

Codeberg published a blog post yesterday. They suspect (or know?) that it's a broadened attack because Codeberg hosts liberal and human projects.
In the past days, several projects advocating tolerance and equal rights on Codeberg have been subject to hate attacks, such as massive spam of abusive messages in their issue trackers. We have been monitoring the situation closely and have tried to clean up the content as quickly as possible.
Often, content remained available only for a few and up to 30 minutes. Due to constrained personal capacities, some rare cases have remained online for longer. We appreciate all your reports to [email protected] that help us identify abuse quickly.
On 12 February 2025, an abuser has escalated the attacks to a next level. Instead of targetting individual projects, they have started to create abusive content and mentioned Codeberg users in chunks of 100 each.

This is a good argument for self-hosting Forgejo (which is quite simple compared to gitlab from what I hear).
But good to see they are standing up to this shit.
-
if you are on codeberg you are a good FOSS developer
-
Ok. "I am good FOSS developer"
-
Self hosting git repos can be super minimal. If you don’t have a lot of users or repos, just use ssh. Hell you can host a repo on a local SMB network share eben.

They often go down because of ddos attacks, although not exclusively.
-
I wish I could upvote this a hundred times.

Reason I went or self-hosting Forgejo is to know it when federation comes along for real.
I'd love being able to federate my self-hosted Forgejo with my friends self-hosted Forgejo servers.

Got the same message, but from a different issue
