Yes, we know git repos get used by clusters of people. That is not the accepted meaning of "social network."

- sixstringtheory 5y agoSocial simply means activity that occurs amongst a population of people. A pull request with the requisite commentary/discussion is absolutely a social phenomenon. Even simply pressing the approve button or the star button is a social act as it is a transaction involving more than one person. And if you’ve never encountered the toxicity commonly thought of as only belonging to “social networks” in a PR or issue, then lucky you.
