Hot take, Google+ was onto something with their "circles" thing. Basically you could choose the visibility of every post and comment you made to be limited to a subset of your contacts

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 6 points 11 hours ago

The core issue with Google+ wasn't the platform, it was that Giogle started becoming a spyware comany and rewuired real IDs and forced thst shit on everyone.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 54 points 17 hours ago

That was indeed a great idea wrapped in, well, Google

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 17 hours ago

Corporate social media is always destined to enshittification and being a tool of surveillance capitalism, being Google's just speedran it.

[-] nightlily@leminal.space 2 points 12 hours ago

And educational on basic set theory.

[-] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 7 points 15 hours ago

Facebook is like an MMO chatroom. I prefer the small servers.

[-] Omnipitaph@reddthat.com 10 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Facebook also allows this to an extent. Or at least it did 5 years ago when I last used facebook. You did have to manually choose who could see the post everytime though. Not nearly as convenient.

Yeah It'd take forever to click "All like-minded hoes in the world EXCEPT family members"

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

i had a friend who accidentally got his posts set to only post to me. and i would reliably comment on everything because we were besties. apparently it really got to his mental health.

Google+ started well enough, but when only google using nerds were the only ones using it using it( as it was designed by those people), they decided to make it worse and force it on everyone.

[-] MadhuGururajan@programming.dev 1 points 17 hours ago

I don't recall, wasn't google+ the new product to come out of orkut? Or was orkut bought out by google when google+ didn't "perform as expected"

[-] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 7 points 12 hours ago

I don't see the issue. Her grandma is being loving and supportive, and it's not like grandma doesn't know what sex is.

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 8 points 11 hours ago

GRANDPARENTS HAVE NOT AND DO NOT HAVE SEX THEY ARE PURE.

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

The issue here is that the screenshot cuts off grandma’s comment. Bet she had some great advice about farting during sex!

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 45 points 18 hours ago

If you're doing bendy sex positions and your partner farts and you can't both have a laugh about it and continue with the bendy sex then your relationship needs an upgrade.

[-] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 17 hours ago

But if the fart smells like 10,000 rotten eggs from the swamps of dagobah and the stench persists for hours and will not go away then I think the mood is ruined.

[-] kevincox@lemmy.ml 20 points 16 hours ago

Let's take a little recess and circle back.

[-] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 16 hours ago

Sorry but I would completely lose attraction to the Dagobah farter. Not gonna circle back.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 10 points 15 hours ago

I would prematurely ejaculate as soon as the smell hit my nose.

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

A username well-earned

[-] Soulg@ani.social 6 points 15 hours ago

Sorry that human bodies are gross lmao

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

after this many protestations this sounds like self hatred

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 4 points 13 hours ago

I get that reference.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

have you not heard of candles?

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

Then it smells ass, and candles.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I've done extensive research on this. The fire burns the chemicals what carry the ass esters to the nose

People here don't know prudence and decorum, probably because they don't have normal relationships with their families or even people in general. And it's not social media, it's the people themselves. I was a (very horny) child when Facebook came out and even I wasn't doing all of that. 🤷

[-] Damage@feddit.it 28 points 21 hours ago

Everyone has sex, get over your puritanism

[-] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 22 points 18 hours ago

Everyone does? What is your source for a bold claim?

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 16 hours ago

Yup, i was there too

[-] MadhuGururajan@programming.dev 3 points 17 hours ago

You wouldn't understand, Namekians puke out their young after all.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

cucumbers aren't people

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

some people have multiple. i keep mine over in that cabinet full of jars

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago
[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 29 points 20 hours ago

Nah, granny agrees, she ain't hating

[-] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago

What is the point of this reply? Lol everyone takes shits too but I don't want my grandma to hear all about a nasty smelling pure liquid shit I took the day before yesterday or something... Just because everyone does something doesn't mean you want everyone to know all about it...

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 hours ago

well, give me her contact and I'll send her pics of mine seeing your too lousy to share with her, and I'll ask her to rate my turd!

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

I don’t want my grandma to hear all about a nasty smelling pure liquid shit I took the day before yesterday or something

what is wrong with you gran is the first person i send the photo to

[-] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Ah damn maybe my nana has been having mad fomo over my shits for years and I didn't even know

[-] tomenzgg@midwest.social 4 points 13 hours ago

I take pictures to send weekly and she comments on how well it looks like I've been eating; it's really helped us stay in touch.

[-] wheezy@lemmy.ml 5 points 19 hours ago

Sure. But to an extent. I am definitely glad I didn't grow up in a single room house on the prairie falling asleep with my parents making my younger siblings on the bed next to me.

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 5 points 20 hours ago

Granny just doesn't approve of farting during sex... cause she's a puritan prude and never experienced that level of relief

[-] wheezy@lemmy.ml 4 points 19 hours ago

You'd like my granny. She be farting all the time with no shame.

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 1 points 16 hours ago

walks around sounding like a 2-stroke engine

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 34 points 22 hours ago

Gam gam can prolly relate.

[-] VicksVaporBBQrub@sh.itjust.works 12 points 20 hours ago

Growing-up on a farm she'll know which vegetables blow the biggest beefers.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 19 hours ago

Doing it cuz I want you to fart.
