I accidentally had my forgejo instance open for registration. When I noticed it, there were tons of fake accounts open, with empty repos opened for each account. All of them had emails associated with them. They might’ve just been trying to annoy me, or maybe there was some plan to be executed later, since they’d have access to basically free storage, without any tracking.

In any case, I have cleaned all of it, and now have a list of 19311 usernames and emails. Maybe I can submit these somewhere for a spam filter? Idk, just curious if there’s any point in keeping this list.

Here’s the list.

    I’d appreciate it of you shared the list of emails (can’t think of a reason for the usernames). I have built quite the reject list of email addresses and domains from unsolicited emails in our company’s email server, and while its slowed down the number of spam, it seems to never end.
