> Googles biggest fail was probably that Plus [...] tried to sweep everything into it. Youtube, Reader, Photos, even the search was harmed by it Everything but events integration with calendar, which would have been a potentially killer feature. 90% of what I use Facebook for is messenger and coordinating group get-togethers. Google Calendar already had options for public/shared events; I find it baffling that Plus didn't try to take advantage of that.

Events and hangouts were a magical combination on Google+. Perfect for organising online RPG games (G+ was very popular among roleplayers). People were really angry when they killed that.

There's at least an option for events now: https://gettogether.community/ https://gettogether.community/ It uses ActivityPub, but I don't know of any primetime-ready messengers that use AP yet. This is all I could find: https://github.com/fedimos https://github.com/fedimos
