    I feel like the failure of Google Plus is evidence that social networks have always been driven by toxicity to a significant degree

        That's a fascinating observation. I remember they were so proud of the "circles" concept that allowed people to communicate just with friends and to hopefully avoid the privacy problems they ran into with Google Buzz. And you're right, the lack of toxicity meant less profits.

        I don't know that Google really knew how, or tried to monetize G+, and I think it was probably mostly about doing surveillance capitalism to figure out how to better serve us ads, but it's no secret that that's Google's business model. Less opportunity for viral right-wing memes.

        Google + was so toxic. I think they wanted it to be a way for business people to connect as they pushed for you to use your irl name over your username.

        All social media platforms are toxic. They allow people to just be themselves, and while some are kind as a result, others use it and are absolutely horrid. Honestly, the only decent memory I have of Google+ is that it was there I experimented with pronouns and gender before

        Yeah, I mean - that's plausibly true of off-line social networks too; people hang out so they can have drama and talk shit about other people.

        Well except that modern social media with its intentionally minimal privacy actually makes that harder. G+ was actually great for talking sht about people. Because you could limit things to your clique.

        before G+ we tried to build a social network API that was respectful of different online contexts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg-FVDmgyP0 … (It didn't survive)

        The circles idea was neat, but all the maintenance involved turned me off 😕
