Death of Google+ Causing Angst

It's been a long time coming but soon the wishful thinking social media site alternative Google+ is shutting down for good. Or for bad as the case may be for the hundreds of thousands of users who still call Google+ a home and who are severely lacking in options for a place to move to. There's always Facebook, but given the anti-Facebook culture prevalent in the G+ network over the years it won't be an option for many. While communities debate the move, admins of communities size up the prospect of migrating years of data to another platform. Google plans to execute the shutdown in April 2019.

  REAL social interaction doesn't require a computer.

  Get your sorry asses out in the real world and talk to people face to face.

  If you can't handle that, kill yourself. You will not be missed.

  But wouldn't that mean you need to talk to people in person (ie, "face-to-face")?
