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.

    Theres a HUGE difference between hosting it essentially read-only to the world, vs allowing account creation, uploading, and processing unknown files by the server.

    I have thought of blocking access to the commit history pages at the reverse proxy to cut off 99% of the traffic from bots. If anyone wants to look at the history, its just a git clone away.
