My wife wasn't happy with the idea that friends of friends could see photos of her on Facebook and Facebook was regularly tweaking privacy settings (read: undoing my changes) so I punted and deleted my profile.
Frankly Google+'s circles seemed like the perfect solution by giving you explicit control over who sees what and further letting you tailor what you post to each circle.
Although I'm sorry to see it go at the end I only used G+ to keep in touch with fellow Ingress players. Between the fact that my Diaspora experience was similar to yours, slack is the go to for my tech interaction with k8s users and discord for gamers I'm not sure I really need another time waster anyway. I can't help but think some portion of the population will like me choose to replace Google+ with nothing at all.
- welly 8y agoI've taken myself off all social media (for a couple of years now) and feel better for it but do miss a bit of the social interaction with some of the groups I was a member of. I have been tempted to start an anonymous (in as far as a made up name) Facebook profile to take part in those groups again but have resisted against it because one thing leads to another and you end up on the platform fully. So for my tech interests, also using slack but I'd be keen to find some non-tech slack channels. They're a bit tricky to find.
- Pamar 8y agoI miss the G+ circles myself. Still posting on both Mewe and G+ for the time being.
