mysoulishome12 years ago. Wonder what Lemmy will look like in 12 years?
TygrHad 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.
Ha I am actually still friends with people I met on G+ as well. Before Pokémon Go there Niantic had a game called Ingress and we organized teams and strategized on Google+ groups and chat. I don’t know how google messed it up honestly with the way everyone with gmail had an account…you could chat and there was audio and video calling that worked pretty well. It was also very clean and modern for the time. Oh well, Alphabet.
Google never really recovered from the attempt at “FOMO” by restricting most from accessing the newly hyped social media network.
By the time Google opened it up, people were already moving on to other platforms.
Although some instances do restrict new signups, imagine if they all restricted access? It would not be the same here.
