There's a follow up by the author:

Including this:

So I ended up sending and email to Forgejo security team, containing: an apology, a bit about my reasoning for proceeding with carrot disclosure, recommendations about what to harden/review, and a bunch of commented exploits/proof-of-concepts as attachment. We'll see how it goes.

this shit stirrer ex-googler really does not understand the signals people are giving... apparently the community response is "hilarious", the moderators removing their toots at both instances are "overzealous" for acting upon multiple reports and giving a ~~proper~~ hilarious removal reason.

"everyone is dumb but me!" lol... (not a quote)

this person is really butthurt that people are telling them they have acted very irresponsibly.
