> a kind of web-based all-in-one full-service collaboration/dev platform with a social network built in.
Why would I want a social network built into my version control & ci/cd pipeline (I assume you're referring to the "stars" feature, and not about issue reporting).
Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but I'm sort of sick of everything becoming a social network. I neither have nor do I want internet clout, and all social networks feel like they're trying to force me into "keeping up with the Jones'" in whatever way they're relevant.
In OpenSource space there is a small value: If I get a contribution from a stranger and I see they are respected contributor to trustworthy other organisations I can derive some trust from that. (Doesn't mean handing out access and blindly merging, but helps to judge)
Also for people looking for jobs it can be a tool for self promotion.
