你好,姬家 #GooglePlus
Considering the horridness of many social media platforms, I'm thinking Google was too early with "Google Plus".
Part three of my three-part introduction is finally up: What can you expect from my blog and what other services will my blog replace?

I hope...wherever he is, that Vic Gundotra ('Father' of Google+) is having a nice day!
It was probably one of the last 'good' Google products.
Panic?
Oh... kay #Google !
Dear deep #Privacy watchers:
I don't understand half of this, & generally avoid Google products if I can; don't do cloud, and stay un-logged in when possible.
I haven't enjoyed/respected Google since the genocide of the beloved #GooglePlus community, and the repeal of #DontBeEvil ...
BUT... even as a non-paranoid, non-Google-platform user who studies #media & #words ... Is this not ominous?

@anna I had a friend who constantly brought it up (at the time it felt like another Google+ or MeWe). The Twitter downturn finally had me accept the suggestion/invitation to join. And I was hooked for idealogical reasons. 🙂
I’m excited about all the different facets of the Fediverse. Free software without paywalls feels like a playground to explore. It reminds me of the days of learning about alternative operating systems to Mac OS (period correct formatting).
The community movie night was also charming (sometimes—I’m not a horror fan 😅).
I appreciate the control I can have over so much of my experience.
