@Karcsesz@equestria.socialThe strangest thing just appeared on my Forgejo instance. Can't tell if it's an ARG hook or someone in serious need of mental help. Anyone interested in helping to investigate?

Me and @ryze have found so much random stuff. Apparently this is someone from Belarus thinking they're some sort of god? We've found aliens, conspiracy theories, fascinating stuff...
Also all the filenames are palindromes of illegible characters.
It's also a mirror of a mirror with recent updates. Any other #Gitea or #Forgejo admins familiar with this?
Found a file linking to https://oooooooooooooooo.carrd.co/
then followed that to this list of every instance they've mirrored to: https://dev.to/oooooooooooooooo/thothathotha-21o2
This is **extremely** widespread
@Karcsesz That cross shape is kinda... could this be some sort of religious thing for them?
@avghelper That's my current hunch. They seem to have a love of reflections. The palindromic filenames, and the Blender files with kaleidoscopic patterns
@avghelper This is a creative way to circumvent ContentID

Definitely a religious thing
@Karcsesz@equestria.social @ryze@equestria.social one thing is certain: They want to seek attention. I doubt it's worth it to give them any. It's a nerd sniping attempt.
@interru Sometimes it's fun to get sniped. And since it's apparently spread to hundreds of instances, it's still good to make sure it's nothing malicious.
@Karcsesz @ryze It's so weird. I wonder if there's some kind of security vuln they're trying to exploit on some instances where certain byte combinations or string lengths somehow lead to exfiltrating keys or smth.
That's just my paranoid brain talking tho, I really hope Forgejo et al don't have an issue like that
