- thomasahle 10y agoOther people who post interesting things in the Algorithms and Math areas: David Eppstein, David Roberts, Terrence Tao. I quite like reading people like those on G+ without all the noise and distractions on Facebook and Twitter.
- janvdberg 10y agoYes, and the thing that bothers me most is that there are no RSS feeds available. Having these would be even less noise/distraction. I understand why they don't provide RSS feeds, but I don't like it.
- commentzorro 10y agoMy understanding is (was) that each group can choose to enable RSS if they want. I seem to remember Go having RSS and Dart not (or vice versa). When I asked the one that didn't, they said they choose not to enable it (in order to draw people into the site).
- piotrkubisa 10y agoIndeed, the GNU/Linux devs very often uses G+ as blog platform but also there are some communities around the GNU/Linux stuff like elementaryOS[1][2] or WorldOfGnome[2].

- whamlastxmas 10y agoIs it odd that some of the biggest names of FOSS use such a closed platform? Or is Richard Stallman sort of the exception in being a FOSS zealot?
