Public Service Announcement : If you are leaving G+ for good, please make your very last post a list of places where we can find you (Pluspora, Twitter, etc).
That way, those of us who are trying to maintain communication with our old G+ friends will will know where to find/follow/aspect you.

I'm planning to stay to the bitter end (and maybe turn out the lights when I leave) but I have already started setting up alternative venues. Been beefing up my Twitter settings and I'm deep in the learning curve in Pluspora.
ReplyDeleteLee Grupsmith-Pedersen with me I'm considering mewe, but I'm with you I'm not jumping ship until the cancellation is truly confirmed.
ReplyDeleteI have even been issueing some feedback on their products site.
My recommendation is to create that post now and pin it so that it stays at the top of the list for those who visit your profile/collection.
ReplyDeleteRiley Chance Tell me about Mewe. I've seen it mentioned but have not looked at it yet. I set up Pluspora because I have a long-dormant Diaspora account (well, not anymore).
ReplyDeleteLee Grupsmith-Pedersen I'll update you as I learn more
ReplyDeleteAlready made a pinned post - staying to the bitter end tho
ReplyDeleteDon`t talk the users into leaving the network earlier as necessary!
ReplyDeleteNow is the time to look for a new planet but also to stay and fight.
And the most important message should be now:
Don`t kill your Google+-Profile
It's conceivably possible, but probably unlikely, that Google will keep G+ online in read-only mode for some time after the shutdown, like they did with Google Code.
ReplyDeleteI've got a pinned post with that info - i'll be around for a while though.
ReplyDeleteYeah, instead of "your last" post, make it a post pinned to (the head of) your profile.
ReplyDeleteOr pin it but yeah
ReplyDeleteI'll be staying here till the end most likely, but I have a number of places...
I wrote the info in my profile.
ReplyDeleteWill do. For the moment I'm settled in over on MeWe, but a lot can change in ten months. Nor have I left G+ yet.
ReplyDeletePin it, but maybe limit read access to your circles. Or else you leave a nice bait for data dealers / harvesters.
ReplyDeleteJürgen Christoffel I have limited any contact information to my circles only.
ReplyDeletePlease note that the Contact Information / Meeting Sites section in this community is also for this purpose. If you are leaving, please let us know where to find you.
ReplyDeleteWe have 9 mths essentially to make decisions. I encourage people to test different options then make a decision together :) I think most of us will be or have joined the federated social web so this never happens again.
ReplyDeleteShelenn Ayres Test! Try things! Report back! I agree with Shelenn!
ReplyDeleteShelenn Ayres This is a mass migration, though one individuals are making on their own, with information from others.
ReplyDeleteThere may be interim settlements or several camps.
I've a lot of thoughts on this, only some here:
https://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/eetPRdL4VkP
(Yeah, I like to think and write too much.)
plus.google.com - Clarifying Goals and Intent As a quieter space, I'm going to use (and invite...
Pin your *public** forwarding address(es) to your profile.
ReplyDeleteThat's the easiest way for people to find them.
Your profile *About page also has space for this, though it's not as visible.
For limited visibility contacts: Create a "Friends" collection, limit it to specific Circles, and pin additional but non-public contacts there.
Post those to the specific Circles as well.
Keep in mind that shared references may also be harvested by others.
Example post:

John Hattan: Consider updating your post w/ these suggestions?
I am moving to pluspora
ReplyDeleteThaaanks! Friend! Is this the Mitigations issue? BM
ReplyDeleteStephan Beal Oh, that's smart. I wouldn't have thought of pinning the post offhand. When I figure out what I'm doing, I'll pin it!

Amo éste lugar. Encontré en este sitio, parajes, personas, sentimientos puros y nobles.
ReplyDeleteNo lo abandonaré, como dice Lee Grupsmith-Pedersen hasta el final.
Seré áquel músico del Titanic que intentará para los últimos supervivientes seguir adornando, componiendo y creando, ser el que siempre soy.
Es mi leif motiv.
Es mi vida.
Siempre fue y será así.
Tengo ciertos planteamientos que haceros:
Estoy de acuerdo en casi todos los posts que habéis ido contestando, creo que es importante (si la decisión al final es el cierre definitivo) la de llegar a un consenso y que la mayoría de los que somos leales migrar a un lugar nuevo común
Importante: fijar datos personales, tlf, email, nueva "casa" y consensuar en común el lugar al que migrar, desde el perfil hasta en los posts cotidianos.
Por último, ¿es innegociable la decisión de closed de G+?, ¿Hay una mínima posibilidad de replanteamiento?
Quizá ya durante los últimos dos años ya subliminalmente nos fueron avisando de lo que en Agosto 19, ocurrirá
Es una pena, es un lugar que bien trabajado, bien apoyado y con buen soporte no es multitudinario y visualmente a mí es el que más me gusta, quizá la decisión era ir muriéndose paulatinamente
Dos posibilidades:
El gigante Google podría migrar a un nuevo lugar con los apoyos y cobertura suficientes. ¿Se lo han planteado?
y por último
Podemos crear un nuevo "territorio", o "refundir" uno ya existente, valorar entre todos cual es el mejor camino"
Contad conmigo.
Desde Europa, saludos.
John Lewis Language guidance? (See above.)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind invitation 😊 This was a fantastic idea! ✨👌
ReplyDeleteI've pinned my pluspora address to the top of my collection, and I have also joined mewe. I think over the next 10 months there will be a lot of xploring but I think most of us won't want to spread ourselves too thin.
ReplyDeleteI'll be staying to the end. After that I'll be creating either a blog or website. When I finalize either one of these I will pin it to my profile.
ReplyDeleteEdward Morbius Speak any language you like. We have google translate.
ReplyDeleteWhen G+ disappears, will your Google Profile disappear as well? Because the profile is common to other Google properties. And it used to be possible to add links to other social networks.
ReplyDeleteHowever. I'd strongly recommend having a personal domain with a personal website, that contains a roll of all your social media profile pages each with some semantic web markup in the form of rel='me' on each link. I call it a YASN-Roll. (Yet Another Social Network).
Julian Bond Unclear. I'm going to write a Dear Googles request for clarification & submit feedback.
ReplyDeleteJohn Lewis Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSo does the poster though, a point to consider. But accepting policy.
John Lewis The Google-translater is working with English and German. French, Spanish an Italian to german is acceptable. Other translations are terrible sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWhen I translate the last sentence of the comment of Edward Morbius :
But accepting policy.
to german, I see:
Aber akzeptieren Politik.
"Politics" is "Politik" in German.
It`s really funny sometimes.
But also disturbing. This is the main reason why I opened a community for nativ german speaker.
Peter Kassau-Schmook Using Friendica with the browser on a laptop, i only right clicked and selected translate one time... it now auto translates the page anytime it is not english for me... I don't need G+ to do that - we can usually tell as you say with the context what the translation should be
ReplyDeleteShelenn Ayres That`s right, but we are in the strange world of Google+ here ... 😃
ReplyDeleteYou can add me on diaspora, I`m a #gplusrefugee on pluspora. 😊
Peter Kassau-Schmook I looked for @Peter Kassau-Schmook but did not find you... username different?
ReplyDeleteShelenn Ayres Also ich finde mich in der Suchmaske, wenn ich "Peter K" eingegeben habe. 😊
ReplyDeleteGib da mal peterkassauschmook@pluspora.com ein.
Shelenn Ayres It works! 💘
ReplyDeletePeter Kassau-Schmook Could you link that Community here or post to the "Other Gpocalypse Communities" section, even better?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to keep vague track of those.
Edward Morbius Ok. I make a new post. There was another on Thursday. 😊
ReplyDeleteMassenflucht vom Planeten Google+
Peter Kassau-Schmook it only works if you know the format to put in search to bring up the profile... specifically like this:
ReplyDelete@username@socialnetwork
Google will moderate it if I paste it so I will insert spaces after the @ signs
@ peterkassauschmook@ pluspora.com
Peter Kassau-Schmook Plan for the worst and hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteShelenn Ayres I meant the search in diaspora*

Peter Kassau-Schmook yes but I cannot search there not having an account there if that makes sense. I searched from Friendica in the global search :)
ReplyDeleteShelenn Ayres Oh, really? That`s bad , I didn`t know that only #Diasporix have this possibility. 😊

To people who are posting here with there information, we should consider that there is an entire section dedicated to this called Contact Information / Meeting Sites.
ReplyDeleteThat is the right place for "archiving" yourself at the moment, although we should consider creating a directory in Google Docs.
I may move this thread there, even though it was obviously intended as advice, it has become a thread where people are posting their destination.
All the best,
John
No problem on moving it. I'm also closing comments. I think we've covered this as deeply as it's gonna get covered.
