         @slightlyoff @zachleat +1 they went after the people that were building community outside of Google's immediate interests (e.g. the open web) Which is historically what Google was always so *proud* to do.

         Given what Apple is doing to close down the open web, the fact that Google is so clearly signally they don't care, I'm just so disappointed.
