> GitHub is completely unrecognizable compared to how it was before being gamified and turned into social media.

Huh? The whole premise on which Github was founded was that it was "social coding". The phrase was even in the logo in the early days [0]. Social features like stars, following, and the activity feed have been there from very early on.

If anything, I feel like Github has become a lot more corporate and enterprisey since getting bought by Microsoft.
