  Kind of ridiculous someone would go the distance to do THIS, but then again I'm not familiar with the platform and their relationship with the perpetrators.

  However, I've been interested in the subject, and I can see how we'll need more moderation, especially, with AI content flooding everything, as well as, completely autonomous AI agents interacting with content and people.

  I'm curious about this, but I'm not familiar with Codeberg.

  Is this kind of "safety" check really the main process to prevent mass emails going out? Otherwise is it a free for all as far as the ability to mass email out?

  I read half of the article and it hasn't answered this question: what happened?

  I mean, I get that people received unexpected notifications and hate speech. But how? Did an admin send them? Did a bot go on all the projects? Can't we summarise that in 2 lines before going into a whole article about how to prevent "it"?
