unless you mean Linkedin or something like github as a social account?

Those count, unfortunately. But I'm skeptical that a "github resume" matters much.

LinkedIn seems to matter a lot more strictly for getting offers from recruiters, though.

It doesn't. I don't know why people on HN think it does, but in real life, most people I've worked with ave empty GitHub accounts.

I've had an interviewer suggest to me that I open a Github account, to improve my chances of getting an offer. After the interview was already over and was already rejected. But I already had an active Github account, and nobody ever asked me in the interview if I had one. So I was confused by the suggestion.

One of the great reasons not to have a LinkedIn account. Those aren't offers any way. They're just shotgunned spam to users with > 10% keyword matches.
