So, it's just been over a month since Google announced that they are shutting down Google+ in August of 2019.

How many of you have found another network, perhaps even MeWe, to be a suitable replacement?
How many of you have invited others to move over with you, whether here or elsewhere?
Here's the link for the 'Google Plus Refugees' Group on MeWe at

ReplyDeleteFrom testing I've done it appears that MeWe Groups will serve as an acceptable replacement for my User2User-LIVE G+ communities and MeWe Pages will handle my collections.
There are, of course, certain changes I'd like to see ... the first would be to allow full customization of the profile page.
:)
I've got a "one month in" piece I'm working on, started early this week. Addressing much of this.

ReplyDeleteMeWe becomes a useful global platform when they support Chinese and Hindi.
ReplyDeleteCan't say this enough.
I do want MeWe to work and succeed as a general successor to this platform.
Simply put MeWe needs substantial presence, and good language support is a primary means to do that while lacking this support is a sev 1/ pri 1 blocking issue.
If they want to succeed the way forward is clear.
Not hard to figure out.
If they can get this done by March then yeah MeWe will look to be a 'suitable replacement' and I will promote them in earnest.
Otherwise we lose tons of global connectivity and cut off major regions of the planet.
Gotta look at and support The Bigger Picture.
It's all about getting to square one.
Just put it in the enterprise roadmap and let people know they will be able to use your services. Don't shut the door in their faces. Do what works: build the necessary bridges.

MeWe and diaspora do seem to be the most appealing of the new social networks, but it is work getting situated. I want to like MeWe but not sure yet. I like Friendica's platform but again just getting started. It's making me reexamine what I'm looking for. I like Mewe because it has good private contexts and Diaspora because it has good public contexts and federated connections. But i'll probably need to get twitter or mastodon going for news and current events feed.
ReplyDeleteAs threatened, I've posted my "One month in" summary, here:
ReplyDeletehttps://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/JFqzxiq6Crx
Also at Reddit:
https://reddit.com/r/plexodus/comments/9w06v9/plexodus_one_month_status_report/
And Diaspora:
https://joindiaspora.com/posts/5a0831c0c7870136cf340218b70db60d
Answering the question of "have you found another network": No, not yet, and I plan to take my time.
There are nine months remaining in the sunset period. This is a tremendous opportunity to reshape online and social media, and there are a whole mass of exciting existing and in-development options out there.
I'm also more than a little sick of going through forced migrations from platform to platform -- I'd been in the middle of one, and am still mopping up from another, when Google dropped its bomb. I'm going to own my next online home. (Though it will also be connected to other platforms.)
I realise that these aren't everybody's primary considerations, and that where the largest crowd lands will have some significance. But I do encourage others to move with deliberation and not necessarily jump to the first possible refuge or port.
plus.google.com - The Plexodus is a Month Old Google announced its intent to shut down Google+...
I have too many social media accounts already. I haven't established any one of them as a primary. If anything, I'd say that G+ itself has become my most-used and most-watched social media service (again) ever since the announcement last month.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I must caution G+ members to remember that MeWe has two serious limitations and one inherent issue of concern:
1. Posts on MeWe cannot be shared, linked-to, or bookmarked. Even though public posting has been promised for December 2018, that "public" posting will be within MeWe only.
2. Outside search engines such as Google cannot index or search MeWe posts.
These issues make MeWe content and users effectively invisible to the rest of the web. And that's the majority of the world. The CEO of MeWe has said that both of these limitations will be addressed in version 2 of MeWe, which will (he said) be coming in 2019. But until that time, MeWe is a walled garden. And there's still -
3. MeWe is a centralized system under private ownership and control. As such, it will always be subject to the decisions and whims of the management. Google Plus showed us what that's like.
It will also be subject to pressure and attack, both legally and technologically, at the point of control. Gab showed us what that's like.
Putting all your eggs in the MeWe basket is therefore something that I would recommend strongly against.
Edward Morbius Trey Harris? Just curious, was he one of the editors?
ReplyDeletePeter Maranci Trey drew up the spreadsheet initially AFAIK.
ReplyDeleteEdward Morbius Actually I did. It's on my Google Drive. It's possible that Trey was one of the people who made suggestions about categories, though. I don't remember.

ReplyDeleteThese present NON-use cases for MeWe are serious and crippling.
MeWe is NOT presently a replacement for G+ and maybe it never will be.
Nevertheless MeWe is an important platform and can possibly evolve into a much more functional useful information ecosystem.
I just - at long last - blocked an enemy here, a clueless moderator troll from a moderately sized G+ group for which I had high hopes back in 2016. That was years overdue.
I am very glad that that group of idiot owners has made exactly the wrong choice and committed to the purely evil and indefensible spyware platform known as Facebook.
As we all know, trolls are really unteachable and really stupid.
They should all migrate to Facebook.
Works for me. Never thought I would find an actual use for Facebook.
[ Much elided text here with lots of political discussion. ]
. . .
The MeWe platform may grow into something one tenth the size of G+. It may become one tenth as useful as G+.
Right now MeWe is badly crippled.
It will certainly take many months and even years to recover the ecosystem richness of G+.
I keep coming back to the basic statement of the WW2 French Underground guy Albert Camus.
He said:
"Now the only moral value is courage. . .We have nothing to lose but everything. So let us begin."
I have done outreach for G+ migration to about two million people, plus 175K yesterday on the basically dormant G+ Random Thoughts.
Simply put,
MeWe is a rescue Coast Guard cutter for a sinking ocean liner.
I am a free society organizer, the main one across this entire social platform.
You have no idea how difficult that work is.
Much of the time it is intellectual samurai work.
I look at the future and all I see is mounting strife and war.
In war what you need most is a good team and lots of inner discipline.
There is a lot of team building to do.
That is the network that matters.
