How that drama unfolded? Where did it started?

Read the linked article, it's all about that. Far-right and alt-right trolls have been spamming projects hosted on Codeberg that either enable or favor diversity and inclusivity.

Yeah there is no link of those , so wanna see what they are doing.

Who can she a light on where these claims „far right forces“ originate? What were these spam emails saying?

The emails were just "[truth/truth] (SLUR) BALLS (Issue #849)"

"@truth mentioned you: (100 users mentioned with @)"

Does codeberg just not have proper limits? Why would you let someone mention 100 users in a single message and create like 800+ issues with one account in a very short time span

I got the spam message with racist words and then this email:

>Dear users,

>earlier today, you might have received a notification email from our systems that contained abusive and offending content, and we apologize for the disturbing message.

>Please understand that no data from our platform was leaked. The emails were generated from our servers due to the notification settings of your user account, which is set to generate a notification whenever someone mentions your username in a conversation. The abuser had no access to your email address and was only using public information from our platform to abuse the notification feature.

>We have published a more detailed statement and explanations about the incident on our blog: https://blog.codeberg.org/we-stay-strong-against-hate-and-ha...

>Thank you for your understanding and stay safe. We are currently working to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

>Kind Regards >Your team from Codeberg e.V.

Seems like edge-lord spam mischaracterized as "far right"

What’s the difference between?

I've heard plenty of "far-left" people use slurs, including n*****.

Using a slur is not indicative of a political leaning, it's an indication of your edge-lord status.

They want to feel validated with identity politics first and foremost. Creating additional distance from the bad words so people who care about identity politics are comforted.

If a person is acting like a right-wing asshole, I’m going to assume they are a right-wing asshole. If they don’t like that, they should change their behavior.

Got stuck in my spam folder, but for posterity. I've censored the N word out of this, it was uncensored in the email. Also other people's names > [truth/truth] N***R BALLS (Issue #303) > { A list of a bunch of users } The email I received had no further context or content.
