> GitHub is a social network
Yes indeed social network like Facebook, which can stop access to repository or code based on DMCA. It pose many serious risks, given a lot of open source code is under control of a single corporate entity.
Hopefully social model evolves and become fully distributed which is the fundamental basis of git/hg/fossil and other distributed version control.
Today all the necessary technology is available, needs an effort to integrate them and bring back the self-hosted alternative which automatically forms a distributed social network to collaborate on code.
