"What a long strange trip it's been", and still is. Seems like yesterday we (I) scrambled to land somewhere when Google + exploded. All the songs, memories, tears, anxiety, questions, ticking of the clock...

Most of those I had ongoing back & forth with on Pluspora either had presence on another pod, or added one when Pluspora got wobbly a year or so ago, so now I'm "based" (parked on an open tab) on diasp.org, and it's almost identical day-to-day. I've checked Pluspora ever few days because a few folks still prefer posting there primarily, and I don't see "here". But overall, this is an easy but sad loss, as no lifeboat or destination is needed now. But one less familiar neighborhood is still in our community.

Thank you @pluspora. Thank you @Di Cleverly. Sad to watch it sail into the sunset, but it was a good run and much needed/valued.

So yeah, now it's Closing Time, The End, etc.

Squeezed on a lifeboat to a Fediverse un-known and my first new home & neighborhood was Pluspora. Ever grateful to this pod as well as so many people who gathered for advice and assistance as the G+ ship approached and hit the iceberg. Still: #googleisevil

Peace & happy/happier horizons.
