I have reported multiple users and repositories for blatant violation of part 2.1.5 of the terms of use, yet i have not even received an acknowledgement, is this letting abusive users stay on codeberg intentional?
It is being monitored
so, letting abusive users stay on codeberg is intentional then?
The cases you reported lie mostly outside of Codeberg. We moderate only content on Codeberg, not the fediverse. The one Codeberg repository you reported does not contain illegal content and the software is not in violation of the terms of use.
My opinion regarding the repository in question: Like all tools, software can be used for good and evil and we cannot fix social issues by banning tools.
ok, so you allow fascists and people that harass as long as they don't do it on codeberg?
congrats, that's exactly how you create a nazi bar, do better.

Mobbing, stalking, doxxing (exposing someone's personal information), brigading (inciting a group to spam a specific place for any reason), threatening and harassment, as well as encouraging others to do those things.
how exactly is a 'tool' whose only actual use is in violation of the above part of the ToS not a violation of the ToS
of course there is the other part too, that even github does better, i shouldn't have to create an issue here because my reports keep getting strait-up ignored

Harassment and fascism on other platforms is either a matter for the moderation on those platforms or a matter for the authorities, depending on the case.
The content to the links to mastodon were already taken down when you reported them btw.
And your mail in fact did not get ignored.

Even when the fascists are on your platform? It's father baffling how you don't see that this is a major problem.

On mastodon, yes, however on codeberg the user is still up.
Is this really the sort of person you want here?
And how exactly am I supposed to know that when I get no feedback whatsoever, and none of the people violating the ToS get removed?

Did he violate the ToS on codeberg?
What is so bad about his mastodon post that he deserves banning here?
The racism?? The ableist slur?? The misogyny??
since this is locked as "Too heated" (lol) i can't properly respond.
But that does not have any particular relevance to us here on Codeberg.
yes it does, because that racist, ableist, and misogynistic person has an account here. you are allowing awful people to be here as long as they keep their awfulness offsite. again, i'll repeat, that's exactly how you create a nazi bar
it's truly silly to say "how serious we are about not allowing fascism on our platform" while literally allowing fascists and harassers on your platform.
ToS on Codeberg
* Terms of Use, not Terms of Service. There's a difference here and precision is necessary for sensitive matters like this.
P.S. Haven't seen the full report.
The operative word in @ashimokawa's comment is here. Personally, I understand the decision of the Mastodon instance to remove the post. But that does not have any particular relevance to us here on Codeberg.
Let’s be real. We are a hosting platform for open source developers. If we were to ban everyone who is ever an arsehole off-site, we would have nearly no users. The ‘FOSShole’ is a stereotype with an unfortunate element of truth. (I say this with sufficient self-knowledge.)
If the user were posting this content on our platform, or even encouraging people on another platform to use our platform for this kind of harassment, that would be another question. We would certainly take action.
In this case there are also specific difficulties besides it being off-site: as @ashimokawa mentioned, the problematic content in question had been removed from Mastodon by the time of your report. We have no immediate and obvious guarantee that the screenshot is not fake. (This may seem unlikely in this case, but fake screenshots of users supposedly doing ToS-violating things are already hugely problematic for moderation. This constitutes both a means of harassing users by having them banned for things they have not done; and an attack vector which actually enables fascists to use one of their favourite tactics against their perceived enemies, if we did have a policy of assuming all screenshots of un-verifiable off-site content were real.)
Please see, for example, our statement from February this year on how serious we are about not allowing fascism on our platform.
No due date set.
No dependencies set.
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
