Interaction and culture beats follower count. I had 2500 „friends“ on Facebook when I left 10 years ago. I have 7000+ followers on Twitter, which I will soon leave. IIRC far more than 10000 on Google+ before it was killed. But I had so much more inspiring and useful discussions here in the last few weeks. #justsayin
@jwildeboer RIP MySpace
@vwbusguy someone bring back Geocities ;)
@jwildeboer And angelfire!
@jwildeboer I feel like Google+ might have had an opportunity during these twitter takeover times, if Google+ was still around
@machias Yep. But it isn’t. The past is immutable. The future is unknown and undefined. In the here and now, I’m happy to be here. :)
@jwildeboer completely agree, I’m happy to see folks moving to mastodon.technology and other instances
@jwildeboer Me too. I loved Google+ because we were a few users.
I'm French and I had with some people a community of 1M members. We knew almost French people on this social media ^^
@MaximilienMoreau 1M people community and you call it “a few” ;) I like your style :)
@jwildeboer I was talking about a few moderators
@jwildeboer Sorry, it was not well interpreted
@MaximilienMoreau Pas de Problem pour moi :)
@jwildeboer Oh, pas mal du tout, tu te débrouille bien (^.^)
@jwildeboer and Google wave.
@aeble I still have 20 invites. First come, first serve. #millenialJoke
@jwildeboer muahahahahaaaaa
@jwildeboer I missed the old identi.ca status.net version when it flipped to pump.io, but it was for the community, not the protocols. I feel like much of that has migrated here, so I feel more at home.
Google+ was great for what it was, but like so much, a victim of G's inability to follow through. I'd feel bad if I was still feeding them info through it at this point.
@jwildeboer Other than G+ my numbers aren't all that far off of yours and I couldn't agree more about here lately. Definitely the overall quality of conversation has been better to me.
@chris the power of no algorithm ;)
@jwildeboer I have half of Nepal on Facebook, I don't know any of them tbh ......
I still miss Google+ and status.net, TBH. ;)
