Google, didn't you get the memo? Stop trying to make Google+ happen

Just Enough

Re: They did their dash with me

"Secondly, I find G+ communities way friendlier than Facebook, which in my experience is very hostile and about any comment I make on it gets an aggressive reply at some point."

This is simply down to the size of the communities. Smaller communities are more cohesive, and people simply can't get away with abuse/trolling to the same extent they can in the massive user base of Facebook. This isn't a problem of Google's, it's just a cultural problem with people. The best online communities I've ever be in were tiny; 200 max. People got to know, appreciate and help each other, even if we didn't always agree. But I've seen many that start out that way go to the dogs, simply through getting popular and having an influx that included a percentage of idiots.

You only have to look at the cesspit that is Youtube comments to see what will happen in Google+ if it ever passes a certain number of users.
