Search for / follow the hashtag #googleplus at Pluspora / Diaspora / the Fediverse

I and others are tagging content with this as a way to help locate and re-acquaint with other G+ refugees.

The #newhere tag will also tend to point to new arrivals.

Again, this will make re-acquainting much easier and faster.

  1. The Rev. Dr. Edward Morbius leading the faithful into the next data vulnerability.

    If Google couldn't maintain a non-evil alignment, how could these agile social networks?

  2. Jon Eckberg That's a damned good point and I've just written a long post addressing that in part.

    Self-hosting is one option. It's not always possible, practical, or ideal.

    I really do want to see substantive discussion of this point, and the risks involved. I have serious concerns myself.

  3. Gerhard Torges Whyso?

    Do you have a better alternative to suggest?

  4. Unfortunately, I don't have.
    My main pain is the lack of communities and proper circles.

  5. Gerhard Torges "Aspects" are a direct analogue to Circles.

    There is not an analogue to Communities, though Pods themselves offer something resembling this. There doesn't appear to be an obvious way to limit discussions to the local Pod, though I need to confirm that.

  6. Gerhard Torges Fair points. I'm trying to divide my focus on wants vs. needs. And I've got a long list of unfulfilled wants myself.

  7. I can’t use diaspora until they fix the type size problem on their mobile web view. Currently, jt is about 6 or 7 point type and simply not legible with my old eyes.

  8. It looks like, Edward Morbius.
    But aspects are rather limited.
    There are only four of them, and as far as I can see, you can't assign a person to more than one aspect at a time.

  9. Brian Holt Hawthorne File a bug? Is there a public repo?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Edward Morbius I assume there is, but from the mobile UI I can’t find any way to either file a bug or link to a place where one could do so.

  11. Brian Holt Hawthorne Google Play Store feedback, if nothing else.

    (If iOS, whatever it offers.)

  12. Edward Morbius The problem is that there is no iOS app for diaspora. So we have to use the mobile web interface through a browser. And whoever designed that set a tiny font.
    My Google+ app (and most other modern iOS apps) support dynamic text, so my accessibility setting for larger type just works. If the diaspora mobile site used the default type size it should work in the mobile safari browser too, but they have hard coded a small type size.

  13. It could work with client side CSS, too.
    But I don't know if you can teach mobile Safari to do this.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Gerhard Torges Mobile browsers tend to suck at CSS hacks. Firefox/Android will run Stylus, though AFAIU you have to import stylesheets, you can't edit them locally.

    iOS denies you that :(
