Author here. Currently, it's only on GitHub. I am planning to create a website in the future with search functionality and better categorization for everyone to go and use the resources listed there.
I just went through this transition myself. For the past year or so I had been compiling technical content on GitHub and writing long-form content (updates on my year long vacation) for family and friends on a Facebook Page.
Now a couple weeks ago I started putting all of that content into my own website and it feels great! Part technical challenge of getting my CMS set up and customized, and part a feeling that this is more "right" than putting stuff in walked gardens.
One delicious irony is that I had a blog in college and had Facebook set up to automatically pull those posts into Notes using the RSS feed. Then at some point I didn't care about that server anymore and did not preserve the blog. So to fill in my old content I actually had to source that from the tool that I have sort of judged as inferior.
So it is a real commitment to run your own site, on a decades timescale I would say. Or pay $5-10/month to WordPress.com (etc.) long-term, or trust WordPress free tier (etc.) to be around long-term.
I know of two completely non-technical people who use GitHub as a sort of personal website/wiki. They probably don't even know what git is let alone how to use it. I suppose if you're just looking to build a page that has information and aren't interested in the wix/square space bells and whistles then GitHub is probably the easiest option.
I think GitHub is good for any shared textual resource because it is free and gives you version control for free. it also lets you use markup which is faster than coding in HTML.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by you're not using GitHub for your GitHub stars. Assuming you don't give stars to projects, but just saves the projects as bookmarks, why not use the built in system?
Edit: I still appreciate and like the list you put together

The web needs more people like you!
Why not pull it from the Internet Archive? That's going to be a lot more streamlined than a facebook notes page.
