As far as I can remember you can choose what updates you receive from different persons and you can also prioritize this by creating groups like "close friends",but as you said they can do better than this.

It's your own damn fault.This is what happends when you have too many useless friends on facebook.Start managing your newsfeed.

This is really useful.I'm sick of all those online apk downloading blogs full of spam.Thank You.

I have been less active since I lost my up voting (my fault,I had a few days when I up voted everything that hit the frontpage) and flag (no idea here) capabilities but there's no way I'm leaving hacker news. I find more interesting content here than on any other site.You can probably configure reddit to get a similar output but it's not the same thing.

Strange.I just checked my upvote doesn't count either.

Probably that change didn't affect newer accounts ?

Not exactly accurate. pg modified the required karma for flagging a few months ago.It's probably over 1000 now.

I feel the need to comment as I also had the same bleak slightly amused face.This was better than all the funny stuff I've seen on the Internet today.

-deleted google account. -abandoned gmail,started using riseup. -trying out duckduckgo.

+already switched to Linux and started encrypting my hard drives long ago.

The only problem I still have is Facebook.I can't leave because of the groups.

Great.Another way to troll random 4chan users. Expecting "install gentoo","remove kebab" and worse.

You should try newsbeuter.

Why choose google plus as a way to sustain this kind of community ?

I actually came here to recommend i3-wm. If you've never used a tiling window manager or used one but it didn't really work out,I suggest you give it a try.
