Have to say: I will miss you, friendly people of g+. Thanks for the advice, feedback and for the good time. I hope we’ll meet again on other platforms or in real life.

When does G+ officially go away? There is so much cool stuff buried in here, gonna be a shame to lose it all.
Soft shut down of some services starts late January, full shut down in April.
MeWe is not even a poor shadow of the awesomeness that is G+. Is there a better place?
Yes, there is a better place than MeWe to move to…Sadly it is not translated to English yet (only in Spanish by the moment). Nevertheless is in the TO-DO list and it will be ready in less than a month.

April is the official end date now. When in April? I don’t think even Google knows. API’s will start breaking at the end of January, so if you want to get your data out then I’d get moving. I used Google+ Exporter from Friends+ Me. Google has native tools for extracting your G+ data as well.
There are several communities for assisting G+ refugees. G+ Escape Rocket and G+ Mass Migration off the top of my head.
MeWe is adding features quickly at least. They are basically cribbing off of G+’s features. Can’t remember what the timeline is like. I’m set up over there.
Pluspora is a Diaspora pod for G+ refugees, I’m on there as well.
I’ll start posting signal flares soon if anyone wants to find me on the flip side.
Edit: DYAC typos, and link to G+ Exporter I used:

Any chance this could all be archived on the Blades site?
From what I’ve overheard, Google hasn’t been very helpful. There are some posts in the Gexodus communities about steps community admins have taken to try and archive or migrate communities. Not sure what success or results have been achieved.
