In the spirit of "is that tv show still on"

Apparently Ello is still around.

I joined as Beamjockey. Ello seemed to be art-oriented so, for a short while, I posted my cartoons.

Haven't logged in for months. Just tried it-- and for some reason, as I logged in, Ello made a decision that I was "following" a couple of dozen complete strangers. Why would they do that?

It's true that nobody I know posts much to Ello. So it's not too useful.

Just killed off 28 involuntary "followees," only to find that the "Notification" list seems to be infinitely deep as I scroll down. No idea how many other followees I may have.

Forty. I received a total of forty involuntary followees today. And killed them.

That was pretty much what put me off using Ello. It was like LinkedIn with a truly really creepy pushy agenda. "Of course you should all be friends! All of you! Speak candidly amongst yourselves now, share your intimate thoughts, you're all friends!"
