Since exogit already has some basic federation features, it might make sense to disable public registration to prevent spam. Our instance is somewhat well-known now from all my Gitea federation posts on Mastodon, so there have been a few non-exozyme users that signed up, even though this instance is mainly for exozyme users' repos only. Also, sometimes exozyme users accidentally create an account instead of logging in with their existing account, which messes up the database.

Alright, I disabled public registration and deleted the extra users since they didn't have any non-empty repos anyways.

I also made exogit hide email addresses by default, to prevent spam. I used a SQL query for that: update "user" set "hide_email_address"=true; and it felt like a https://xkcd.com/208/ moment except with regex replaced with SQL.
