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.
Aral Balkan
@onepict Just saw the latest ones with that, yeah.
I’m on my phone at the moment but I can’t really find any mass moderation features to deal with this.
Esther Payne :bisexual_flag:
@aral Yeah we got it as well.
Although the subject line was a massive clue as it was a slur.
Aral Balkan
@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.

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.

@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
Aral Balkan
@screwtape @Codeberg I’m good next week if that works for everyone :)
screwlisp
@aral
sounds good to me, I didn't actually ping KMP yet, so. We can accrue some planned topics over the weekend.

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

@aral @Codeberg I had an issue created yesterday, which was weird, but believable. I see now that it has been removed 🙃. Must have been part of that spam campaign.

@aral i also got email notifications for quite a few spammy issue tracker entries.
Looks like codeberg cleaned them up already, though.
This is a very annoying timeline we're on.
But yay for codeberg!
Aral Balkan
@hko Indeed.

@Mabande @robbie @Codeberg Akismet = Mullenweg so if they pivot to anything it’ll be to AI data harvesting.

@robbie @aral @Codeberg Looks exactly* like the spam comments posted on wordpress blogs, so I guess if Akismet pivots against AI some of it could be stopped.

* as you say: same shape
That "Robbie" guy
@aral @Codeberg lol Feather Wiki got a ton of these too! Looking at your screenshots, I'm glad to know that it's just spam because mine are the same shape of message as these. Yikes.
Aral Balkan
@quite @Codeberg They’re just sad little script kiddies. Dime a dozen.

@aral @Codeberg I wonder why they do this, is it just some form of Griefing, to destroy and disturb people for the pleasure of it; sadism?
