Like, the circles thing was really good?

that was pretty much the long & short of it. If you wanted to talk to every stranger possible, you could. If you never wanted to see a post by someone you didn't specifically whitelist, you could do that, and do so in a simple, straightforward, understandable way.

managing who can see your posts is important for sure, but i feel like that's orthogonal to the whole "horrible people are empowered to spread hate and propaganda" issue the larger networks are dealing with

You can't spread propaganda to people when they can't see it.

the weird thing is that google actually fundamentally understood human interaction better than twitter or facebook, which is pretty loving amazing in a couple of ways.

um no they didnt they made google buzz first which was opt out and connected you automatically to everyone you ever emailed

the only reason g+ had any of the controls it did was because buzz didnt have any at all and everyone pointed out exactly what controls a social network should have

so i guess google is better at listening to user feedback? still pretty weird imo

this is why I never understood the need for a single identity in plus, google knows behind the scenes who you actually are and can show you the correct ads so why force someone into a single public facing identity?

I'm not sure this is true, at least in practice. I've got several goog accounts and I see very little bleedover of ad subjects.

libertarians (the poor kind, not the rich assholes) are naive morons. the kind of people that believe that magically everything would be better if we replaced firemen and food inspectors with corporations are also the kind that believe unfiltered free speech will make society better.

it's basically a position of no thought where you take it as axiomatic that more freedom is always the answer to every problem and then you can turn your brain off the rest of the day and just coast and frankly i can see the attraction.

I honestly miss it because maybe 12 of us could talk to each other without seeing bullshit from other people.
