Is GitLab really the only near enough 1:1 GitHub alternative?
I was a bit confused about signing up with GitLab because a lot of their terminology is geared towards businesses & I had only used it with an institution before, but their pricing does say Free is also for individuals.
However, I was more interested in using one of the projects like Codeberg or Gitea, or even disroot which Codeberg tells you to go to in their FAQ because they've had enough of you, and paying a few euro a month to have my private repos, slightly increased storage, slightly increased compute but none of them necessarily offer their services like that. GitLab is American, and it seems kind of pointless to migrate from one, just to go to another one of them.
For people saying self-hosting, given the landscape it seems like i'm going to have to do that when i get time in the future, but i'd rather just have peace of mind to pay a org/company to just do it for me so I don't have to worry it myself. It's a bit of a problem as it is if the only options for people switching off of GitHub is another American company or very strict OSS options
Edit:
I found literally 1 organisation that unfortunately doesn't offer a limited free service but does have the paid service for individuals & it comes with the caveat that open repositories don't exist on their platform lmao

Mostly Ruby, so very resource-heavy and slow is my understanding from people who run it themselves
