I remember Google+, and the idee fixe and mad hype around it. (Google was afraid of Facebook.) G+ was a ghost town. But for the first year or so the G+ team reported astronomical engagement numbers. Huhh?

Finally we learned they were counting every G+ notification dropped at the top of Gmail as an "engagement."

Anyway, I wonder how they're measuring this...

@Mer__edith I sure was luckily to have found the busy but secret parts of the G+ Ghost Town, I guess Never had more followers and better interactions than there. The fediverse is catching up, though.
