Google, I'll strangle myself to death with titanium barb wires before I use Google+. Not a single person I know ever updated anything on Google+ and looks more like a well-designed wasteland right now. With these kind of high-handed tactics, I'll make sure to badmouth it as much as possible.

Google+ is Google. You'll use it in the end.

>You'll use it in the end.

Apt wording.

Better to use Diaspora. G+ and centralized social networks in general is a dead end, and not something "used in the end".

Diaspora? Is that still going?

Yes, and actively developed too. It could benefit from more developers of course.

Latest Big Brother scandal caused a big influx of Diaspora users by the way, with various refugees from big centralized networks.

I think the trick is to follow writers and artists, assuming that your friends are not.
