asdfasfasfasfasIf you were into tech, the tech people were amazing. Yonatan Zunger comes to mind. He was a backend engineer at Google and the guy was great.
I also met many people who are still friends, many of whom became real life friends too.
I even got an amazing job thanks to my contacts on g+.
The feed layout was awesome. The fact that everything got fed to rss. The fact that you could tailor posts so easily. God I miss it. Only social media I've ever really been a part of.
It was wonderful ♥️

asdfasfasfasfasPlease don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that your experience isn't valid, I am merely providing a counterpoint based upon my own experience.

asdfasfasfasfasAlso basically every Linux big name posted there. It was so great. I'm still sad it's gone
A wonderful product or a wonderful community? It sounds like you're describing the people who were on it and not the platform itself.
The platform was wonderful. Intuitive, powerful, everything every other platform was not. Google started killing it slowly long before it died, but in its heyday it was amazing.
I have to admit I mostly only used it for testing purposes. I worked on a product that integrated with it, and I remember it being frustrating to work with. I forget the details of what frustrated me about it, though.
