My account was flagged because I forked and contributed to the project Eaglercraft, and that means my account is basically useless. I have had enough of Microsoft’s exploitation of power and want to switch to another alternative.

I tried GitLab, but I need to signup with a credit card and I am not comfortable giving my personal info out.
I tried Gitea and the experience is great, but I am limited to 5 repos. I tried Source Forge, but I cannot verify my phone number when creating a repo. The prompt just returns an API error.

What other alternative should I try?

    Isn’t Gitea self hosted? What limits you to 5 repos?

    I am self-hosting forgejo. This is a gitea fork that focus on provide a federated github if you want.

    It works flawlessly with minimal amount of resources.

      He contributed to a Minecraft ripoff. Which is Microsoft’s ip nowadays.

        Based on the fact that the project uses branding for “Mojang” and “Minecraft”, it seems like 100% IP infrigngement… I don’t see how OP thinks GitHub is the problem here.

          Some people just don’t like the idea of IP protection at all I guess. Or just don’t like when they face the repercussions of their own actions.

    I have two GitLab accounts and I’ve never given a credit card. That may be something new they’re doing to try to reduce the number of spam accounts signing up. You could use a Privacy.com card, put in whatever name and address you want.

    In any case, if you’re looking at sites which host your repos, you’re gonna have to deal with them being able to deny you service at any time. No way around it.

    I’m considering hosting a gitea instance myself, only accessible over tailscale. But I’ve got to keep my Githib up because I maintain a few Zsh plugins.

      GitLab started requiring a credit card because they got flooded with people using CI to mine crypto.

    You can self host GitLab CE for free.

    codeberg.org is the way to go. They forked gitea (after gitea went private/sellout) and are working on adding activitypub (the protocol that runs the fediverse) to their fork.

    If you don’t mind self hosting, I’ve used Gitea. There are no limits if you self host. I’ve also heard good things about self hosted Gitlab. If your looking for something remotely hosted like GitHub, though, I’m afraid I don’t know of any free services I would trust.

    Sounds like it’s time to get a bitbucket account

        It’s not my first choice either, but something tells me it’s preferable to sourceforge
