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 mean, you contributed to a pirate program and are calling it exploitation of power that they protect their IP?

        I’m sorry, but if I put hundreds of hours of work into something and I don’t release it as FOSS then I would want my IP protected. I do believe in FOSS and have a couple projects that are now deprecated and not really used anymore. But that’s MY decision whether it’s released under license or not. You don’t have a right to anyone else’s work unless they say so.

          Banning someone for contributing to OSS is a exploitation of power whether or not that software violates the company’s copyright.
