@Theophilus I tried ello. It was 😐 for me.
@emdeesee Pretty meh, huh? I liked it at first, but...
@Theophilus But...? Anything stand out as not particularly outstanding?
For me, ello was insufficiently different to dislodge birdsite and facesite from my attention, with the added disadvantage that I really did feel like I was shouting into the void when I posted anything.
I tried Google+ too, and it was my primary social platform for a while.
Decentralization is a major feature for me, so I was interested in Diaspora, and made donations there in support of development.
@emdeesee I liked the original clean and simple interface. Then they decided to put an annoying bar at the top that could not be done away with. Loading time was another fault, and as you scrolled, it loaded out of order leaving the middle empty. Overall, just not very usable.
