I love knowing there are more features to utilize. This app is great. Also hi marques I didn’t know you were here, huge fan ✌️

All these proliferating starter packs should have an option to add to list @bsky.app

the design evolved from what Brad had done with LiveJournal where you set a publishing list for who you wanted to have see specific posts; it worked for that but didn't transfer well to short posts when it's less worth doing the work to pick

Agreed on G+. It was still the best by miles. I miss it dearly. This is a distance second.

I miss Google+, it was the best. But isn't the list feature in bluesky similar to the one on twitter?

Seriously. I initially followed a few news organizations not realizing just how often they post and everything else was buried. Now they live in their own list.

📌

It’s why I left. Granted I didn’t have nearly as big of a following there but I never once paid for a single solitary subscription and I’m so glad I left. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it here way more than I ever did there and here’s hoping I get to know more good people here.

Yeah and I can’t stand it. Why continue to give that guy’s platform anymore credibility. If these Dems really wanted to take a stand, they’d flat out leave. That would really get Elon and Twitter to take a notice.

It just makes me dizzy when I start spinning through them, though. I'm glad they got the list on the right in the desktop version.

hope we get a tweetdeck or bluedeck or something similar

Never used circles but yes, another reason that Bluesky feels useful while X just likes it provides negative value to my life.

Google+ had lots of good features, but it was too little too late sadly. It ultimately got used and felt a lot more like Microsoft's Yammer instead of a proper social media network.

RIP G+

I need tech influencers to follow and follow back

They really should have stuck with Google+

This is like saying gas station hot dogs have nutritional value. It might be true, but then you have to eat a gas station hot dog.

I remember Google Plus. I never ended up using it very much, it was just another part of the Google account I had to make to make a YouTube account.

I loved Google+, it was indeed ahead of its time. Circles were so easy to manage and the photo and video features were way ahead of their time as well. Just goes to show, it doesn’t matter how great the platform is, without enough users, it’s nothing.

Love it!

I miss Google+ so much

I remember being excited to be invited when Google+ was invite only. I truly liked it there.

I was too late to social media to experience Google+ :(

Pretty sure you can do on Twitter too with Lists.

Too bad Google and Pichai do not have the staying power to keep platforms like Google+ going. They could have been reaping the benefits of the turbulence we are seeing in social media

It’s been I don’t know how many years and I still find myself, when idly at an empty browser tab, typing plus.google.com 😅

I honestly feel Google should have never given up on Google+, I think it would have bounced back and been strong by now with some effort. As for bluesky, I am pleased it’s here with the features it has and I am looking forward to growing with it

bsky.app/profile/list... I want to make sure you are aware of blocklists, since you have a large following.

I actually liked Google+ but was also not surprised they killed it.

R.I.P. Google+

Ooh nice lemme go look thanks

I wonder if Google+ would be successful, if they were to launch it today. Thoughts?

Very good feature!

It really was ahead of its time... I do wish it did gain traction in the market, but then again.. We couldn't have Google controlling more than it already does.

I believe that's something we could do on X with the lists.

You should make a video about this platform.

I used to love Google+

Only found you could do it on X after doing it here. But too late for there now.

Miss the good days of Google+

I gotta learn how to do this kinda stuff. #lostintech #catchup

As much as I try to avoid Google services these days, I am still a firm believer that Google+ was, feature-wise, one of the best social media sites we’ve been shown so far.

G+ was great.

I can’t help but think I’m under utilizing this app

I can't tell you how many people I convinced to join Google+ back in the day... Lot of people don't trust me anymore 😂

There are dozens of us! media4.giphy.com/media/ReBGGJ...

I liked the "+1"; made showing support to negative posts feel less weird: "Your cat just died? Like!"

I liked Google+ so much. I couldn't use it because no one was there, but it was so useful.

Wait, I thought that was basically subreddit? Like the content within is novel and not just curated from the main network?

Just heard about this. Can anyone explain how to do this?

You're still an asshole for driving down a public highway at 96mph. I want to make sure people don't forget how needlessly you endangered others' lives as well as your own; and guess what? That makes you a piece of shit. You need your license revoked.

I’m only just finding my way around Bluesky and yeah, it’s brilliant! Not so brilliant: when I try to scroll, the feed bounces back. Is that a “hey you’ve spent enough time here, go do something useful!” feature?

Hey, have you done videos on CapCut? New to video editing and not sure where to start. 🥰🥰🥰

You just reminded me that Google+ existed

Yeah I love that aspect I already made a news list for myself without having to follow all the news sites.

I think it's a fan account. We all miss Google+

I literally just got here. How do we do this?

I didn't know about this feature until this post…darn I’m such a simpleton.

I genuinely appreciated the concept behind circles in Google+. Unfortunately, it’s application was not so great

marques review bluesky

Do you have suggestions of cool feeds to follow?

This place has some of the old Google+ vibes. I miss Google+ but this place is nice so far. It doesn't have that Google stank all over it
