Google+ didn't work because they didn't push it hard enough and they made it an invite only beta instead of just allowing everyone to join.

Yes - I'm being serious they didn't push it hard enough. If you had a Gmail or YouTube account it should have just instantly become a Google+ account in some sort of private mode so it doesn't inadvertently leak your info.

If they would have just pushed it out to everyone, day one, mandatory, no opt out, then we'd still have Google+ today.

Like if they made Google Talk the default messaging client on Android we'd still have Google Talk. I don't recall Apple making iMessage an optional messaging app you don't have to use.

But... it is optional. Opt-out, sure, but optional nonetheless. I have disabled it on my work phone.

As far as I’m concerned, barely anyone uses iMessage outside US. If it weren’t for the US market, it would have been discontinued long ago.

To be fair, most Americans don't know anything exists outside of America.

I loved Google+ at the time but I was invested in the Google services ecosystem back then.

Anyone remembers wave? Or what was it called - was definitely ahead of its time.

I had forgotten all about Wave. My friend and I were super hyped when it came out but we ended up rarely using it.

By then I predict the big corp news media will report on Lemmy like it’s the new 4chan. Unmoderated instances that no major instance links to will give them plenty of ammunition. Non technical users will believe it to the frustration of all Lemmy.

Not trying to be a downer when they attack you, you know you’re winning
