The main thing for me is that I don't want everything I share with my friends and family to be public.

If I e.g. comment on a photo that my brother posted, I absolutely don't want any of his other random acquaintances to also see that. And also the other way around, if my friends comment something on my photo I don't want my brother to see that.

Private groups are the only way to avoid that. Or maybe a system like G+ had with the Circles, so I could e.g. share tech things only with my techie friends without bothering my aunt with it.

We can keep reinventing the wheel or we could just realize its all pointless anyhow, right? Why scroll to see the off chance Kevin went on vacation? Just shoot him a text and see what he’s been up to if you care. You don’t need a board or whatever to keep up with the people in your lives. Thats just a lazy way to do it which inevitably invites the ads in, so other ads we are exposed to in society makes us feel its necessary, but its not. Grandma isn’t active on facebook yet she keeps up with everyone she thinks about just fine with the good old land line, probably with a far more deeper connection than a laughing face emoji. Maybe something to think about before looking for the next online refuge.
