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.

A friend of mine is part of a huge community in Google+
He is now archiving contents and moving it to his old Blogger account. Years worth of stuff.
The community he is part of doesn't know what they will do or where they will go. Not facebook.
Maybe this will give birth to a decent replacement?
