- registration on tildegit is whitelisted to tilde email addresses (namely
from tildeverse members and known pubnixes). feel free to contact me (email
is fine, irc is preferred) if you don't have a tilde email address and I'd
be happy to set up an account for you. Otherwise, you might consider signing
up for a tilde account! :)
Aaah, is *that* what's happened? I've heard a few people mention not
being able to register an account, but couldn't see why not with a quick
check. Was it always like this (I guess I wouldn't have noticed, using
an @sdf.org address), or was this done in response to abuse problems?
I set up the whitelist to combat a large number of automated accounts being created. It was several dozen automated spam accounts per week, which was a pain to deal with!
I've added @sdf.org to the whitelist and I'm happy to create accounts for people as needed as I mentioned above.
I get that tildegit is intended to serve the tildeverse so in some ways
this restriction makes perfect sense. It's kind of a shame, though, for
"outsiders" to not be able to open issues, make pull requests, etc. :(
