Oh yay, would you look at that, another “use” for AI: looks like at least my repos on @Codeberg are getting hit by a deluge of AI-generated issue spam.

Imagine the kind of sad, meaningless life you must have to attack free and open source projects on a community owned and operated source forge.

@Codeberg In later issue titles (not shown) they’ve foregone the AI and just default to the same racial slur. (So you know what kind of lowlife scum are behind the attack.) It’s not just my repositories either so I wouldn’t visit Codeberg until this is dealt with if I were you unless you want to subject yourself to that crap. I’ll let you all know when it’s been dealt with.

@aral
Would you be able to talk about this happening on the lispy gopher climate (Wed 0 UTC) next week or the week after? (And potentially your projects aside from more attacks against codebergs). If I recall the last time there was a bad attack against codeberg they were quick to resolve it.
@Codeberg

@screwtape @Codeberg I mean, I don’t know what I’d say apart form it’s clearly by some pathetic Muskian script kiddies who lead very sad lives but happy to chat about the Small Web, etc., sure.

@aral
Smallnet sounds great, if you want us to collaboratively swat up on some topic prior let me know. The spam attack is important but shouldn't eclipse us.
Otherwise I'm hoping to get KMP to talk about knowledge based stuff in the next few weeks as well, so whichever time and order works for everyone.
@Codeberg

@screwtape @Codeberg I’m good next week if that works for everyone :)

@aral
sounds good to me, I didn't actually ping KMP yet, so. We can accrue some planned topics over the weekend.
@Codeberg

@screwtape @Codeberg 👍

(Either DMs here or mail@ar.al works for me.)

@aral @Codeberg I'm surprised honestly they don't have filters in place, woke up today to two emails with this type of spam and one still open issue on a foss project with this type of spam and a literal racial slur on the title.
