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 code forge like Github or Gitlab. It uses open source technology on its backend and is often used by FOSS/privacy-minded projects.
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.
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 the Forgejo code, for example disroot.
Turn off downvotes so you don’t have to care
If the far-right hates Codeberg, that only tells me Codeberg is doing something right.
Well left but yes
The Message clearly stated that it was far-right, not left.
what’s the point in attacking a source control website anyways?
It’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.
Yes yes… Dear genious 😌
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.

Can confirm, just got phishing mail “from Codeberg” containing the n word in its subject (?)
Not necessarily a phishing mail. I got tagged in an issue that some idiot created and codeberg dutifully sent me a mail notification.
Same here. Such a jarring and upsetting way to start a morning
me too, but hopefully the issue is now fixed and those assholes kept banned
Same. Was very confusing.
Codeberg is one of the best websites on the Internet right now. This blog update of theirs doubly confirms it for me.
Did Codeberg do something/take some stance to attract the attention of the far right? It feels like such an arbitrary target?
From 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.
I woke up to an email saying ni***r balls lol
Same! Very confusing thing first thing in the morning
Issue #1113 by any chance? :D
Issue 572 xd
Did you subscribe to the “ni***r balls” newsletter?
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, 😅
Got the tag email last night. The user was named @truth and all I had was an email titled “N***er Balls”.
so interested in what the “several projects advocating tolerance and equal rights” were, do we know?
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
How can we help?
Is the term “far-right” used to mean anyone who doesn’t obey marching orders and won’t conform to opinions of others?
No, 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
Literally 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, 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.
Yeah this may have fooled people before Trump and the Charlottesville NC rally and the rest of the world embracing hate, but they ain’t fooling anyone anymore. Stuff it. We know and you know what TF “far right” means. Stop the concern-trolling bullshit.
Haven’t you heard? The masks are off. You don’t need to justify it anymore or hide it. Just come out and say what you really believe.
far right is nazis pal
No, it means “reactionary.” Expand your vocabulary.
