Skovari Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Well Google has announced due to large security breaches that Google+ is going away. I know there is alot of great RQ/Glorantha material that has been posted there and discussed. Wondering if there is any way to capture and save any of it. Info about it here: https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/08/tech/google-plus-security/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Stansfield Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Well, shit. I have to say, Google+ has been my favourite expression of Glorantha on social media over the years. Visual, colourful, immediate, lightly structured, yet responsive. Look; smile; move on. Perfect for how I like consume stuff. Facebook is, I suppose, similar in some aspects, but clunkier in others. Ho hum! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skovari Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Google+ did do a far better job getting you to what you wanted. Facebook does entirely too much filtering and selection for you. I'm amazed at what I miss there sometimes or get VERY late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkokko Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Google+ has been my favorite as well. Quote My Glorantha/Mythras blog with Glorantha Cult One-pagers and Mythras Encounter Tool updates and Mythras GM Charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconded on MeWe. I think it's the closest in functionality to G+ -- been using it for awhile now and been very happy. Won't ever go back to Facebook, and Reddit is a hard pass for me.

Very simply for basic notifications, yet able to include short responses on a wide range of topics. While I enjoy the BRP Forums, they aren't as easy for quick social media type posts. Will not use Facebook for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g33k Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) I won't miss G+ all that much, honestly. I regularly run into extended stretches of "cannot spend much time online" and end up missing content on all the platforms that presume an always-connected customer-base. BRPCentral, and similar fora, suit my own preferences much better. That said, I am absolutely enraged by shit like this -- the bad guys winning. G+ served the wants and needs of a LOT of good people, and seeing a few asshat crackers murder it like that... It just makes me pissed as hell. RE the MeWe option -- does anyone know if they have any sort of independent auditing, compliance-verification, or transparency? Or does everyone just have to trust that MeWe is and does exactly what they say, and does it all to an extremely high degree of competence (which is usually a VERY expensive proposition... kinda tough to maintain in the long term, for a free service!)

No idea what kind of actual transparency there is with MeWe. But as a platform it is pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
