Ello seppuku

Fri, Feb 17, 2017

A wholly unused social media account deleted just now. i had signed up for Ello in September 2014 (or at least i had recorded my account credentials back then in my password manager), i think after seeing it mentioned by a few designer friends: i mainly wanted to see what was considered so special by these friends who seemed so enthusiastic about it. i couldn’t find anything exciting at all - ok, i get that part of the initial excitement was about the lack of advertising, but since i use ad blockers everywhere, i basically never see any ads anyways, so who cares.

I never used this platform at all, so this was a very easy call: account gone in a flash.
