Well, no, but yes. Git itself is a decentralized piece of software, but github's centralized extensions to it (pull requests, issues, discoverability, etc) make it less appealing for me to host the repo myself. If I want to "play with the others", I'd need to, at the very least, mirror to github.

Github isn't the only git host. So in this example you would be specifically wanting to play with other github users. Many have made it their thing to avoid Github entirely.
