- TylerE 13y agoAnd G+ is worse because the thing with Facebook...I'm never FORCED to reveal my Facebook identity on the open web. G+ doesn't really give me that option.
- aliakbarkhan 13y agoYou've clearly never been to one of the many sites that insists you log in through Facebook.
- Anderkent 13y agoBut that's fine. I don't care if there's a multitude of services that I never use anyway, and they require facebook login. I care when services that I do use, purely by virtue of being bought/owned by google, are claimed by a social site I don't use.
- Macha 13y agoThe only one I recall it being mandatory on is Quora. Most offer Facebook as an alternative. And as a result, I never used Quora.
- aryastark 13y agoSpotify was doing it when I tried to join. They apparently changed it later, to not require Facebook. But, you know, first impressions being what they are, I'll never be a subscriber. Trust is hard to recover once lost. Guess Google is going to find that out the hard way.
- Semaphor 13y agoOh, it works without FB again? I joined when it was new but never used it much (niche musical taste). When I tried to login again a few (4-12) months ago, it wanted to force me to use FB so I just started ignoring them altogether.
- codezero 13y agoYou can join Quora with email only, Gmail auth, or Twitter.
- abraham 13y agoFacebook has a similar real name policy to G+ and Facebook also considers names to be public info. https://www.facebook.com/help/224995697512520 https://www.facebook.com/help/224995697512520 https://www.facebook.com/help/292517374180078 https://www.facebook.com/help/292517374180078
