GitHub is explicitly listed as "social media" on the optional question that is on the ESTA [1] form since 2016. If I remember correctly, the wording is relatively broad, so I would guess that HN and Reddit count as well.

Since when did GitHub stop being a code repository and start becoming a social network? Am I using GitHub wrong?

  What do you think commits are? git commit -m -S “just having my 4th Oreo milkshake haha”

  It has stars and accounts, so there is a social aspect

  Isn’t GitHub’s motto “social coding” or something similar?

Just an FYI - that website (evisaonline) isn’t an official government site. They seem to be some third party who provide some sort of ESTA application service. The official site is at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/
