#googlehangouts — Public Fediverse posts

I just thought about adding a Mastodon link in my LinkedIn profile (I'm not particularily active there, but maybe it could draw someone to the Fediverse from the silo…). The closest I could find to setting a social media link was the "Instant messaging" options. Those had some interesting options 😄

@Zak8022 if it’s of any consolation, it’s a Google messaging platform. Its days are limited. #googletalk #googlehangouts #googleduo #googleallo etc

Can’t believe how deep I dug into some of Google’s products in the past..
The 2 main problems I have with #Google products is:

#Obsolescence
Anyone remember #GoogleInbox #GoogleDuo #GoogleAllo #GoogleHangouts #GoogleStadia or #WorksWithNest? (KilledByGoogle.com)
Why would I buy a product that I know won’t be supported a year later?

And
#Privacy
I feel alone with the concern over privacy. The concerns I have advertising profiles being built with our data, #Ai being trained with our data, and governments given access to our data.

I’ve been slowly replacing them all, mostly with #Apple products; the lesser evil.

The Great #GoogleHangouts Shutdown begins October 2019 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/01/the-great-google-hangouts-shutdown-begins-october-2019/

The only way I can understand Google’s overarching messaging strategy is that it is done out of spite for humanity and our need to communicate.
