ā€œWhen I was 18 I wrote this post about how Google+ posed a serious threat to FB/Twitter/LinkedIn https://t.co/f2UmBPLP6r šŸ˜… I learned a lot about the realities of execution vs. this notion that big companies straightforwardly execute against Master Plans after coming to SVā€

@dredmorbius hope you didn't overwork yourself too much with these last-minute archiving efforts, take some time for yourself & recover if needed; & while G+ had its share of evergreen content (your top hits among it), rest assured there's tons of stuff barely worth worrying about, its half-life long since past...
@dredmorbius pour one out for the fallen... yup, when I checked at around 21:00 CET, it was gone; I still have my profile open in a tab LOL (also incidentally, a Gmail tab I had open for weeks/months still kept running the Notification/bell code just fine)
@RefurioAnachro @dredmorbius oh, so Mastodon has Lists now? Will have to check it out. If they are the basic kind, and you care about the larger puzzle of productive Lists usage (while I ultimately believe that core Lists should come from the platform to solve a number of problems), you might want to check out this post I just wrote in the last few days: https://medium.com/@alexschleber/twitter-lists-and-search-tips-tricks-2f6f48cee865

@dredmorbius @RefurioAnachro haha we've been over this 1 a bajillion times it seems… 1 thing that no one ever considers in regards to the various per-user-100%-customized Lists/Circles/Graphs/Follows schemes, is just HOW MUCH computational complexity & COST they add to a system, all so that the majority of users can STILL end up with a more or less worst-of-all-worlds scenario barring near superhuman (& endless) List curation efforts, blocking/muting. E.g. for Twitter: http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/7/8/the-architecture-twitter-uses-to-deal-with-150m-active-users.html
The Architecture Twitter Uses to Deal with 150M Active Users, 300K QPS, a 22 MB/S Firehose, and Send Tweets in Under 5 Seconds - High Scalability -

Toy solutions solving Twitter’s ā€œproblemsā€ are a favorite scalabi...

@dredmorbius was trying to reply on G+ to the reddit piece related to this, & for some reason G+ is wigging out on hitting "Save" right now...!? Thankfully have it saved in textfile for now, will try again later
