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?

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.
