Who attacks a tiny independent git host?
Assholes, that’s who.
Good job being assholes, assholes. social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg/1…

We are currently suffering from a network-level DDoS attack. Or maybe just a single actor. Anyway, our downlink is jammed.social.anoxinon.de - Mastodon

Als Antwort auf Aral Balkan • • •Here’s what the assholes attacking Codeberg to try and make it unsuable don’t understand:
It doesn’t matter.
I can’t push to Codeberg right now? So fucking what?
You think I’m going to go running back to Github because you’ve temporarily inconvenienced me?
You think I give a couple of hundred euros to Codeberg every year to demand perfect service?
I support them by hosting my code there and by donating to them because I believe in what they do and because I want to see them succeed and to support alternatives to the likes of toxic trillion-dollar corporations like Microsoft.
So go ahead, take them off the web for as long as you can. When you’re bored, or out of money, or whatever, I’ll still be there, on Codeberg, happily supporting a local and ethical alternative to your US/Silicon Valley/Big Tech bullshit.

We will not be discouraged in our fight against far-right ideologies. They are currently on the rise in many parts of the world, and we believe it is important to protect all kinds of marginalized groups. However, if you believe this does not affect your project, you are wrong. Far-right forces pose a threat to all of us.
Extreme right forces actively target members of our communities and discriminate based on ethnicity and gender, political background, sexual orientation, disabilities, nationality and faith. However diversity is an important asset in free/libre software communities and it is what makes our software great and development productive.

Extreme right forces actively target members of our communities and discriminate based on ethnicity and gender, political background, sexual orientation, disabilities, nationality and faith. However diversity is an important asset in free/libre software communities and it is what makes our software great and development productive.
By targetting some of our most active translators, nicest designers, best developers and all other motivated contributors, they are hurting the free/libre software ecosystem as a whole.
Don't be fooled if right-wing forces promise to "promote open source" in their political agenda. This has nothing to do with the values of our movement! This is about national patriotism and protectionism, and they will happily accept splitting our community on their way.
We all know that the free/libre software ecosystem won't work this way. Every human is an integral and equally important part of it, and targetting some of our community members threatens the ecosystem as a whole.
Let's together stay strong and united against the emerging threats. We stay strong against discrimination of all kind, including but not limited to sexism, transphobia, homophobia, racism, antisemitism and ableism. And we hope that you all join us for this mission.
A big shout-out to all the projects that collect facts and resources against hate and discrimination and that have been the primary goal of these attacks. Support them if you can.
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.
Again, we apologize for the disruption of your work and the abusive content delivered to your mailboxes. We are doing our best to contain the situation.
We'd like to thank everyone who signaled their support in the current situation, via e-mail, Mastodon and in Matrix chats. This means a lot to us.
Thank you for your trust and support!
Your Codeberg Public Relations team”
