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.

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

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. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked people who have overtly spammed a thr...
