FiXato<a href="https://gofer.social/@nyquildotorg" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@nyquildotorg</a> I loved the Ripples feature that early <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/GooglePlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GooglePlus</a> had! It was very neat to see it ripple through communities with reshares, and occasionally was a great way to find and tap directly into new audiences. It probably also could be a privacy nightmare 😂 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j0I1a_Aw4g" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Early introductory example video of Google Ripples in action on Google Plus</a> Being able to scrub through the timeline and watch the post spread out to other people, with the size of the circles representing how big an audience it reached, and then being able to click on them to see the other circles it reached through them, filtering down deeper and deeper recursively. Getting an overview of the biggest 'influencers', languages, and stats like longest chain length, average shares per hour, and longest chain; I don't think I've seen a similar set of features since.

Doc Edward Morbius ⭕FBI Seizure of Mastodon Server Data is a Wakeup Call to Fediverse Users and Hosts to Protect their Users (2023)<blockquote>In May [2023], Mastodon server Kolektiva.social was compromised when one of the server’s admins had their home raided by the FBI for unrelated charges. All of their electronics, including a backup of the instance database, were seized.It’s a chillingly familiar story which should serve as a reminder for the hosts, users, and developers of decentralized platforms: if you care about privacy, you have to do the work to protect it. We have a chance to do better from the start in the fediverse, so let’s take it. ...</blockquote><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/fbi-seizure-mastodon-server-wakeup-call-fediverse-users-and-hosts-protect-their" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/07/fbi-seizure-mastodon-server-wakeup-call-fediverse-users-and-hosts-protect-their</a>HN discussion: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41434600" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41434600</a>This is an issue that's troubled me since joining the Fediverse in 2016, and as one of the people heavily involved in the "Plexodus" diaspora from the late unlamented <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/GooglePlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GooglePlus</a>. Whilst large commercial providers have their failure points concerning privacy and law enforcement, they've also often stood up to over-broad attempts to surveil peoples' online activity. Small instances on distributed systems often run as hobbies or very small-scale subscription / donation-based operations might avoid the roving eye of such efforts, but also lack resources, knowledge, and procedures for how to respond when such seizures occur.

Doc Edward Morbius ⭕<a href="https://toot.cat/@woozle" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@woozle</a> That ... could be pretty cool. I also think it's likely reasonably straightforward.Main concerns:<ul><li>G+ was a post/discussion oriented platform, far more similar to Diaspora* or Facebook. The Fediverse might work for the initial posts, but wouldn't be as appropriate for the ensuing discussions (many of which on G+ were actually where the majick happened.)</li><li>What G+ threads worth preserving really want is a platform with good discovery, categorisation, and search. Probably more of a blog ... or ... (shudder, should I really tempt you?) Wiki Though posting abstracts to the Fediverse might make for a useful advertising mode.</li><li>Flooding people with years worth of G+ posts would probably be ... annoying for many.</li></ul><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/GooglePlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GooglePlus</a>

Jürgen HubertI was rather active back on Google+ back in the day (and I am a bit miffed that Google ended it _one week_ before I started my Patreon campaign).And the one feature I truly miss are the "Collections". Basically, you could assign each of your posts to a single Collection you've defined. For example, I created the following Collections (among others):- "RPG" (tabletop role-playing games) - "Politics" - "Deutsch" (German-language posts) - "Science"and so forth. And those who followed me could choose whether to follow my entire stream, or only specific collections. Someone who wasn't interested in Politics could unsubscribe to these posts. Someone who could not read German could thus not have my German-language posts show up in their stream - and so forth.This was an _amazing_ feature for keeping the signlal-to-noise ratio high in people's streams. And I would love it if someone implemented a <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> -based approach for this - but I am not sure if <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a> would even support such a subdivision.<a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/GooglePlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GooglePlus</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://support.google.com/googlecurrents/answer/6320409?hl=en" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://support.google.com/googlecurrents/answer/6320409?hl=en</a>
