Just deleted my "Google Plus Profile."

From the moment I began using it years ago, Google Plus consistently trampled my naive hopes for its potential and went out of their way to be as hostile as possible. So I didn't post there much.

A minor, trivial win, but long overdue.

@datagrok I was on it long ago, but my opinion of G+ and Google never really recovered after the nymwars

@bob @datagrok

I didn't even now that a Google Plus profile could be deleted

@catonano @bob ha! well. I'm sure "deleted" is just an euphemism for "unpublished," meanwhile on the back-end it's just another piece of metadata; they'll now sell me to advertisers and agencies who want to target people who dislike google, like privacy, etc.
