How do disable watch feature or make it so users can't see each other from watch feature

Hello,

I’m trying to either disable the WATCH feature of Gitea or make it so no user can see other users, with the watch command.

Ideally I don’t want users to know about each other. Is there a way to do that?

I want multiple read user accounts to my gitea repo, but i don’t want them to know other people have access to it or the people who have access to the repo except them.

In order to do what I wanted I ended up doing the following:

I ended up disabling the WATCH feature by overriding the GITEA_CUSTOM/templates/repo/header.templ, as mentioned in the documentation on overriding gitea templates.

Also disabled the stars option in the app.ini
