Where our #RStats community is going.

The mods are done evaluating other platforms and have come to a consensus on a new venue for the Google Plus exodus:

#rstatscommunity on Mewe
https://mewe.com/group/5bbf8d26a40f300b5715c9ab

No platform can adequately replace G+ communities as we have become accustomed to but we must move on. Last week’s outage is more evidence we must go now. I encourage all #rstatscommunity posts to be made there going forward.

Please use our Google Group for direct and meta-comms.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/statistics-and-r-community

It is a Google resource that is the current best place to stay connected with your google profile and email. In the unlikely event (right?!) any platform is abandoned or closes we shall fall back to the group and start over. You may tell us of other active places for R or #datasci content we all may be interested in. MeWe is just one of many online platforms that needs #rstats content. I am practically on all of them to seed the interests in data science with various languages and frameworks.

No good-byes other than to Google Plus. We hope to see all of you there.

To all members, Thank you for being here, getting involved with R and datasci and contributing to one of the best G+ Communities. To those who contacted me directly over the years, your encouragements let me stick with G+ as features came and went.

Finally, to the co-mods | Owners, Thanks for the backup and consultation on how to curate a G+ Community. Last question @mods; care to do it all over again (lulz)?

  4. Too bad. I think if the shutdown hadn’t been accelerated, we would be looking at YouMe. It’s built for us. It’s just getting started, and our suggestions for improvements are being addressed promptly. Please consider making a profile, at least to see where it goes.
