By ‘Git instances’ they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.
If i remember correctly on my gitea (now forgejo) the default is open registration which really shouldn’t be the case for projects that are targeted towards self hosters.
My inital install was a long time ago so I don’t remember for sure
Yeah in my project open registration is behind an option called
yes_i_am_very_very_sure_i_want_an_open_registration_server_prone_to_abuselol
Good note, and good callout, we should always call out these things.
But yes if you’re self hosting and you both have a public facing instance and allow open registration, you are a much much braver person than I.
I’m not allowing random people hosting their git repos on mine but it’s public and they can fork my own stuff on it in theoretically upload some bullshit.
Got curious and lurked your profile. You might want to update your about from Lemmy to PieFed 🙂
Oh, there is still some Lemmy link somewhere? I’m trying to find it but couldn’t, where did you see it?
Oh actually it’s on your homepage (jeena.net) in the About section on the left side
