Is there something like GitHub, but without big tech involvement, no data collection, no ads, open source, and preferably decentralized (maybe Fediverse or even P2P)? (lemmy.world)

Have not used it but there is also Pijul. It's not git based and uses another diff algorithm, not fediverse.

I’m not a git expert. If we Primarily use private repos and use gitea why would this be good ? I presume it’s only good for public repos right?

Even with private repos, it can be useful for backups, CI/CD, or local mirrors. If you just care about public exposure, then yes, it’s mainly for public repos.

GitHub has ads? Unless you just mean them aggressively pushing copilot, but I don’t consider that an ad.

Is there something wrong with Gitlab?

it's "open core".

Not inherently—GitLab works fine, but it’s corporate-owned, collects some data, and isn’t fully decentralized. If your goal is privacy, open source, and independence from Big Tech, that’s why people look for alternatives like Gitea, Forgejo, or federated solutions.
