My @obsidian contact management system has evolved significantly...into a queryable database!

I've gotten a nontrivial amount of joy tweaking the setup and making it a system that works FOR me instead of a system I have to work WITH.

G+ Communities addressed many of those issues, though they also had many, many warts. Smaller and private communities of 50--100 or so members were actually highly useful.

G+ Collections were quite good for organising your own content, and allowed others to subscribe or mute specific topics. Others have mentioned liking those, I certainly did.

@celia
What's missing is the ability to target a toot at a specific group of people, other than 1) all your followers (which is wide open for unlocked profiles) or 2) a specifically listed set of accounts.

G+ Circles were OK at directing where content went, but abysmal at filtering incoming content (resulting in many "you're holding it wrong" arguments).

And management was an utter PITA. I ended up nuking most of mine. There were a few useful features such as being able to permit Notifications, Comments, and Stream for only specified Circles. (I made heavy use of this, with three circles named after those permissions.)

@celia So, yeah and nah.

I was on G+ and am familiar with Circles. They had their uses but were mostly a pain.

On Mastodon, there are and services such as gup.pe , as well as , all of which give some ability to organise at least incoming, and some outgoing content.
