Hello Everyone

Hello Everyone,

You had better read this quickly because it may not be here shortly!

The censor is around....You have been warned!

Sadly the time has come to leave this group.

Should anyone want to find me I am on

https://youme.social/-britishbob

and of course

https://thecrazyenglishman.com

You are welcome to look me up!

The reason I am leaving now is because the owner Edward Morbius has decided to start censoring my posts.

My post on not calling this a sunset was removed and I replied to Edward Morbius stating my reasoning.

He then according to my notifications (bizarrely) +1'd the post or the reply as shown below....
Edward Morbius

+1'd your comment, Mentioned you: Let's stop referring to the G+ shutdown as "sunset!" It's a shutdown and we're being evicted! It helps let Google off the hook and allows them to feel that we're grudgingly OK with it. They're

But he hasn't restored it (I reserve the right to publish the full interaction publicly)

Then this evening I was quietly watching some t.v. and I received another notification.

Apparently Edward Morbius removed another post despite the fact it has been there for over a day and has had 9 +1's from this community (9 of you liked it even if he didn't.)

The fact that 2 previous identical posts were not removed on the same grounds defies logic. Along with the fact that many of you are visiting and leaving comments.

And where his logic is.. I don't know because all of those posts were also posted publicly (as I made clear in my reply to him which I'll remind you he +1d)

I am reminded of a posting on here where I was asked to comment on censorship and here now I seem to find myself a victim of it!


So guys n gals (and races of a different planet whom I am always pleased to shake the tentacle of) I am away (from this group at least) and you know where to find me if you should wish to.

To anyone looking for a place to land I will tentatively recommend
https://YouMe.social

It is new and there are bugs but dammit if it doesn't feel like home at this time.

I have greatly enjoyed the interaction within this group (before I started being censored) and I would like to thank each and everyone of you so much because whether you think you contributed or not, you rekindled my interest in social media (and that IS a contribution.)

I hope to see you on the other side.

Bob

  2. interested in new platform suggestions at this point because it is way too late in the game for that, though there are occasional exceptions.)


    You'll find a few other administrative posts under the "Administrivia" classification here:

    Fact is that G+MM is now well into the top few hundred G+ Communities based on activity, visibility, and interaction, based on data I've been analysing on communities, and really need to post publicly soon, if getting sucked into both personal and online drama and complications can stay out of the way long enough to do so.

    And that visibility has been drawing the interest of those who's posts really aren't productive, actionable, or relevant. Some of those we find in HfR, some are flagged or tagged as spam, some aren't evident until they've hit the stream, sometimes for a while.


    Bob's seen at least fifteen posts to G+MM over the past five weeks, five of which have been direct links to his blog, whether on G+MM-related topics or not. Some might feel that's been adequate exposure.

    Bob's present posting status is "hold for review".
