Best GitHub Alternative? (lemmy.ml)

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?

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.
