Facebook is definitely off the table.

(I have a Facebook account, but as some of you know, I rarely ever use it)

Yeah, I think I will avoid a platform that literally (although apparently unwittingly) built a back door to people's accounts including their Facebook OAuth certificates for 500,000,000 of their users.

Since pluspora is distributed and not owned by anyone, I wonder where the infrastructure comes from and what it can endure. Can it carry all the new traffic and where does it store all the content?

Looks like I'll have to try all three. Yes, Faceplant is definitely out of the question

I think it will come down to where my favourite communities will go. I am not sure if the interaction would be the same no matter where we go.

I've read good things about MeWe: mewe.com - MeWe: The best chat & group app with privacy you trust.

And I'm itching to try Kialo: https://www.kialo.com/

I am, and have been, very interested in the idea of a decentralized system such as Diaspora and Mastadon. I have created a Pluspora account (JasonON@pluspora, I think) and may even check out Mastadon in the coming months.

I also need to see if Ello is still around ...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
