This is where the most discussion has been (serious and satirical) about when, where, and how big the switch will flip. Most (IMHO) are assuming-anticipating continued decrements and the clocks tend to run out at midnight, April 2, with our Cinderella world chariot quickly (?) returning to a pumpkin, and then no mas. Here's one of a few countdown clocks, for those asking. (Don't stare too long at the accident or into the eclipsing sun!) Seems to be that 1 April will be the day of watch parties, some documenting, and a whole lot of watching. As others have no idea ... Well, here's to us...

I am sharing some posts and links to the communities I am a part of. I am not sure if it will be flagged for spam...so I am spacing it out, but I encourage everyone to share and reshare something similar to this (in your own words if you wanted) to communities and members, encouraging them to start planning. -- #googleplus is being #shutdown #august2019 after #google hid a #hack of #userdata. Many users are not aware of this shut down, and those who are are searching for new platforms. Those who are I encourage you to come to the #googleplusmassmigration community link below. I encourage you to start making plans to move your content and your social media presence on google NOW because if you think the influx of porn in your communities is bad now, just wait til mods and users start moving away in the next few months as they have. I am sharing this here, and sharing it across communities. It might be flagged as spam, or not being relevant to the community guidelines or subjects ...
