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?

I haven’t used it myself yet, but there’s Codeberg

I just checked Gitlab’s website and it explicitly says “No credit card required” for the free tier. Maybe you registered for the wrong tier?

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

I think the OP is looking for something remote hosted.

Sorry, I’m out of the loop. What did the OP do that caused grief with GitHub?

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 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.
