#Codeberg is reporting a coordinated hate campaign by far-right groups targeting projects advocating tolerance and equal rights on its platform. On February 12, 2025, attackers escalated efforts by mass-mentioning users in abusive posts, triggering automated notification emails containing offensive content. Codeberg confirmed no private data (e.g., email addresses) was leaked, as emails were generated internally.
The platform attributed the attacks to retaliation for its swift moderation of prior far-right spam campaigns. Codeberg acknowledged technical limitations in rate-limiting measures, as the attack exploited a new abuse vector (notification spam without external links). Volunteer-driven capacity constraints delayed full containment, though most abusive content was removed within 30 minutes.
They are calling for developer assistance to improve #Forgejo (their open-source platform software) and emphasized solidarity against discrimination, stating far-right ideologies threaten free/libre software communities by targeting marginalized contributors.
[...] If you ever considered supporting the fight against right-wing forces, for example by joining political movements and parties, organizing protests or getting involved in online communities with this goal - now might be the best time to move ahead.
