Google+ was so weird, for a considerable amount of time it was invite only, you needed some form of connection to get in – turns out this wasn't great as they assumed it would be. I can only assume that is the reason they pulled a massive U-turn and decided to foist it upon anyone and everyone after the fact, which, it would appear, was also a bad idea.
It had some cool features, like how you could group/rank who you were following. It was just missing users
I think the best allegory I saw was someone trying to get into an exclusive club with a really long line. They finally get in and the place is empty so it sucks
I'm wondering if Bluesky is doing the same thing to itself
I just get never get any of my friends to use Google +. It was just me and a few of my tech nerd friends.
If it's anything like what "All" shows me, it will be mostly furries, sissies, anime, and 196 with just a splash of conservative. Unless you block it, Lemmy got some weird shit yo.
Had a big following on G+, did a few courses and had a lot of fun in that network. Still friends with many of the people I connected with on there.
Never quite got that feel on Reddit and Lemmy won’t have it either because identities are hidden. But that’s OK, all platforms have a purpose.
I still can’t stand Facebook. Even though it makes me money, I feel the ick being on there every time.
has it already been 12 years?!
