   Heads up: Folks on #Codeberg

   You might get an email belittling your project, seemingly from Michael Bell (mikedesu) via noreply@codeberg.org (an issue is created on your repo and then deleted, leading to the notification).

   This appears to be part of a smear campaign someone is running that started on GitHub. e.g., see:

   https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/github-projects-are-being-targeted-with-malicious-action-in-apparent-attempt-to-frame-researcher

   CC: @Codeberg – hope you can identify the account(s) responsible and block them. Example (deleted) issue: https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/issues/216

     @Codeberg Alt text (cont, due to Mastodon character limit on alt text): Don't bother trying to fix your code yourself; you'll only make it worse. Trust me, I've seen your type before. You need guidance, and I'm the one to provide it.

     Check out my resume (http://notevildojo.com/resume.pdf) and website (notevildojo.com) to see what a real programmer looks like.

     Kind Regards,

     Michael Bell (mikedesu)

     @goat @Codeberg A script kiddie with way too little to do, clearly.

     @claudius @Codeberg Does the scale only go up to 30? Shame.

     @aral @Codeberg Codeberg themselves got an issue just like this on one of their own documentation projects.

     Whoever took the time to burn volunteers' time at scale hopefully has grit 30 sandpaper as toilet paper for the rest of their life.

     @maxalmonte14 @Codeberg Again, it’s a smear campaign (to smear Mike). I don’t think my original post made that clear (revised it).

     @aral @Codeberg oh yeah, I did understand that part, I'm just dumbstruck by the aggressive tone this person decided to use, they went above and beyond.

     @aral @Codeberg negging for code work is a new one. This feels identical in style to folks who neg others for a date in writing style, what the hell.
