I currently have an outage from my own forgejo insrance (which codeberg runs as well afaik) since yesterday. I wonder if that is connected.

Here someone abused some feature to automatically create comments mentioning hundreds or more users so that the server send the comment notification via email. The email I got had just the N word followed by "balls" and lots of mentioned accounts. Not sure if others got longer messages?

More likely due to extreme AI scraping. That has been an issue with selfhosted Forgejo instances for months now and it is a complete PITA to deal with.

interesting project, thx for sharing! though:

There is not currently a way to differentiate between web crawlers that are indexing sites for search purposes, vs crawlers that are training AI models. ANY SITE THIS SOFTWARE IS APPLIED TO WILL LIKELY DISAPPEAR FROM ALL SEARCH RESULTS.
