I see the G+ Pony Purge is in full swing. I've already lost a few ponies from my circles. May Celestia guide them to their eternal rest.

@ceruleanspark Dang. I'd heard G+ was going to have a non-anonymous policy, but I didn't expect it to hit so hard and fast. I guess it's better than established, long-term accounts vanishing... =/
-
@scribus I gather that when you get banned from G+, you get banned from /every google service/, so that's...unpleasant.

@greydragon412 Any special reason why?
-
@greydragon412 Docs, Mail, Talk, adsense if you use it, analytics, reader...everything you sign into with that account.

@greydragon412 Yeah.
-
@greydragon412 Bizarre... Though, I'm pretty sure if you keep posts restricted to certain circles (and not that extended one) they shouldn't be able to see your posts. At least, I hope so; that's my strategy. And I kind of prefer people not being able to see which circle(s) they're in - my "exes" one would get embarrassing.
-
@greydragon412 heh Yeah, seems about right. I still remember e-mail and chat rooms being tops. Reckon I'll just keep on riding the waves. Except I never did Google Wave when it was up...

@greydragon412 G+ wins. I deleted my facebook. It's terrible. G+ gives me control. I don't want my grandma's friends asking the question I was asking MY friends. I don't like how it decided to look at my contacts list that was attached to my sign on email, expecially after I said not to check my msn messenger list. *gets on g+ to try out the webcam chat*

@shoutingryan Almost all of the stuff you can do with G+ Circles, you can do with facebook lists. G+ just has a much better interface for their version, to the extent that most people don't even know facebook lists exist.

@ceruleanspark I know that facebook lists exist. And I know that they're not very easy to set up. But this isn't the only thing I hate facebook for. I've been debating deleting it for nearly a YEAR now.

@greydragon412 Oh I asked a question.. By the new "ask question" thing. I can't restrict it to people I know or answers I place.

@greydragon412 "Should I try to get my facebook deleted? (alot of people have been getting deleted over G+)"

@greydragon412 I care less about the trend and more about the functionality of being able to keep in touch. Once everyone I know migrates, the old social site is useless. Internet nomads. I'd rather settle somewhere, myself, but I can never convince enough people to come back to LiveJournal. :p
-
@greydragon412 There's a button for that in settings you know. Click the gear icon and go into account overview. You can delete your profile from there.

@greydragon412 To each their own. Sorry if I came off like I was trying to persuade you.
-
@greydragon412 I've researched this. You can deactivate by clicking the deactivate button. But you can delete it by staying deactivated for 2 weeks. To do this, you must avoid all like buttons and make sure that anything that is linked to the facebook account are not logged into, (or just unlink them beforehand) otherwise, it reactivates.

@greydragon412 They're not banning people for having Pony avatars. They're banning them for having obvious fake names. I think someone has to report you first, as well.

@greydragon412 I once used my gmail for a doubled account when I was a farmville addict. I deleted that account. A while back I used that email to have an account to use to promote a brony meetup group. It didn't reactivate anything. It just let me do a new account from scratch. I have other emails I can repeat the process on as well.

@greydragon412 I escaped farmville when my college put a proxy on it. (thank god) I didn't have the need to use it anymore. Stayed [far] [far] away from anything like it ever since.

@shoutingryan This is one of the reasons why I never use Facebook. My friends at school would keep obsessing over games like Farmville.
