I was wondering why I randomly received two emails that looked like spam from them, I originally thought they got hacked or something.

If you didn't get the emails, they had the n-word in the title and contained a list of seemingly random users. It looked like what they did was create a fake project named "truth" and I'm guessing they had a bot create a bunch of fake issues for that project that just contained user names that the bot scraped from the website.

@vortexal @opensource @RmDebArc_5 I got the same emails - and sine I was curious I opened the URL (after carefully checking that it really pointed to codeberg). And I was really impressed that the @Codeberg team obvviously already reacted and removed the project. Thanks for talking care!
