Where to go after the Google+ shutdown

In December 2018, Google has announced that they would turn off their Google+ social network due to strange “challenges involved in maintaining a successful product that meets consumers’ expectations”.

Google+ account is going away on April 2, 2019

“On April 2nd, your Google+ account and any Google+ pages you created will be shut down and we will begin deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts”.

So, where to go and what to do now?

First, you can download and save your content, just make sure to do so before April. Note that photos and videos backed up in Google Photos will not be deleted.

Second, find a new social network that fits your needs like Google+ did.

The choice is not simple, but I can help you.

Social networks to be evaluated:

Personal thinking:

I like a lot Reddit, but Google+ was different and faster. I’ll still continue to use Reddit but as I did before as an alternative social network for specialistic contents. As generalistic social network (alternative to Google+), I’m thinking to take a look at OpenBook.
