The difference is that Google+ tried to be Facebook. And Lemmy is just Lemmy.

I'm still wishing the internet could go back to how it was in the 90's so I'm hoping it will continue to look the same in 12 years.

12 Years ago.. I've zero interested in Google+

Google+ was too much of a copy of the existing social networks at the time.

I'm still a Google Reader orphan though.

2013 was a terrible year for media consumption.

Google killed the only thing about Google that I had any sort of true feelings for. It was exactly what I wanted in a feed reader. It almost killed my affinity to read the news during my commutes.

It was the same year that The Onion stopped printing paper copies, too.

It was also the year The Hangover 3 was released at the request of nobody, but I digress.

RIP Google Reader.

Hopefully more content and more simplicity. I haven't experienced much of either yet. There's tons of threads about how great Lenny is but I'm just not seeing it yet ¯\(ツ)

Probably merged with all the other ActivityPub frontends into a single, hyper-customizable mega-app.
