I like the idea of a site trying to bring back facebook and myspace vibes, but i fear its going to attract the wrong visitors? also seems a bit too political for my liking, "your thoughts on the first amendment" and "what is your favourite gun you own" in group posts? and the site footer about first amendment. Not to mention sign in with google only to use the site.
WhereTheyAsk: Social sites used to be fun. Now you get banned for speaking yourrepliedThe idea of the Google sign in is that pretty much most people have a gmail, and if you don't - there is no way I'm letting you on the platform. We need to verify two things 1. You are the real person that owns this account and not a bot, 2. You can actually click the tokenized link in the first email. Plus if we need to email you site updates, etc... we have a real email you can check. Yes, it seems like we bowed to the powers of Google, but it's there to protect all users. Real people.
