I wish they'd bring back Google+ in its early form. I really liked that place. It was all the web people in one place, news straight from the horses mouth, an open platform. I'm not interested at all in what's currently being offered. I have always disliked Facebook, it created nothing but problems in my life. Twitter is for the permanently outraged hipsters. Instagram is for girls. Discord is for the angry and disrespectful youth. The rest doesn't matter. Google+ was for techies, developers and creators. And originally the design was communication centric, then they changed it to be post centric with comments being hidden away. That was the point where it became shit and I didn't visit anymore. They also should've gone through with the real name Google+ to YouTube binding. The best part was no censorship. HN isn't really a replacement for that. If any "social network", the term is still ridiculous, would emerge it would be a non-censoring platform operated by public money without spyware or ads. You know just how the roads are public property paid by the taxpayers, the social network should be public property as well. And jobs should be public too, not just a limited group of people working on it. But public contracts.
