Google+ died after Vic Gundotra left. It no longer had an internal champion and went stagnant. PRIOR TO THAT, Google+ has more DAU than Twitter. It was incredibly successful in the beginning. Get off my lawn. 😉

Imagine Nostr Wave

Didn't play much with wave.

Wish I had.

Wave was amazing. Check this out.

It was 15 min of fun

i liked google+

there i said it

I'll say it too.

I liked G+. It was home.

Some of the best folks I know on FB are from my G+ days.

Nostr is feeling like the home I haven't had in years.

Circles just seem right. Without Google.

There has been better alternatives for years ya know

I've tried a few.

Never felt right. Never got critical mass.

Ended up back on Twitter because that's where the Bitcoiners lived.

Never seen Bitcoiners go en masse anywhere, until now.

Not even mastodon, etc.

Mastodon has over 1 million users . There was even a popular bitcoin instance

and #[6] is shutting down that "popular" bitcoin instance because of Nostr.

Bitcoinhackers?

Shiiit, I was a G+ user back when it was still called Google Buzz 😎

Buzz was a different product that was integrated into Gmail before getting shitcanned.

Was that the microblogging one ?

Yes

Remember identi.ca?

Damn. You guys dug deeper than I.

I was just a homeless bum online, trying to grind my IRL for a while.

Careful. Don't dox yourself.

Never know when the spooks might show up. 😉

But seriously, that's awesome!

I had friends around the world. Wonder what ever happened to that doctor in Iraq. 🤔

I still talk to some Google+ friends on other social networks. Many of them left Twitter for Mastodon over the last 6 months or so.

i used to know it as emerald sea

iykyk

I actually do know 😉

I didn't know you worked at Google.

haha. i never worked at google but my dad was on the G+ founding team and that’s how he referred to it at the dinner table lol
