@VulpineAmethyst Yes, this seems like something worthwhile to have. But having it on G+ was 🤦 trusting Google, which was the whole point of G+ being awful. If you got b& for arguing with folks in one circle, you lost all your others and your access to email and thus all 3p accounts registered thru that email.

@dalias @VulpineAmethyst
holy crap I totally did not know that. I never used it enough to see that in action, I suppose - it was always a pretty dead social network experience for me, extremely biz-focused.

@FeralRobots @VulpineAmethyst I don't know how often it happened but the possibility was always a serious threat. This was also a big threat from the YouTube merge.
