The impending shutdown of Google+ will lead our Systems Sciences community to rely more on a Wordpress.COM platform put into place in January 2018. This is described at https://stream.syscoi.com/2018/10/09/google-plus-for-consumers-shutdown-oct-8-2018/ . The multiplatform systems thinking community has encountered challenges since a (eventually recovered) LinkedIn community shutdown, causing many to flock to Facebook. Using Wordpress with an O2 theme enables commenting, and the Internet Archive backs up over the open Internet. I (personally) am on Mastodon, awaiting others to join me at https://mastodon.cloud/@daviding . (I've been at https://diasp.org/u/daviding since 2015, and haven't seen much action there). Mastodon and Diaspora are more like Twitter, with the added feature of a gradient of intimacy (i.e. like Google Circles). Mastodon seems to be gaining traction, more than Diaspora (so I'm not betting on Plusplora, which is Diaspora pod). https://stream.syscoi...
