I think Github represents 'par'. Plenty of stuff worse and plenty of stuff better. Overall it's what most people expect a coding social media site to be because it set those expectations. Those of us who are only looking for code management (including issues/PRs/etc) are easily satisfied elsewhere.

There are some frustrating parts, but subpar is an odd way to describe GitHub to me. I’m pretty happy with what they’re doing, and find the UX super helpful. I do agree Actions needs a debug mode but otherwise I get a ton of value out of the service for $20/month?
