[ORIGINAL POST MADE TO G+]
I read (on a google translation of https://www.googlewatchblog.de/2019/01/das-ende-googleplus-google/) that this is the current schedule for phasing out G+

February 4: No new profiles, pages, communities, and events can be created.
February 4 & March 7: Google+ comments on Blogger will be removed on February 4, on external sites on March 7. All comments will be deleted on April 2nd. Google+ login button will not work in the coming weeks and will be partially replaced by the Google login.
Early March 2019: Google+ community owners and moderators will be able to download more data at the beginning of March. This data will include the author, the text, as well as the photos of all posts in the communities.
April 2: All Google+ accounts and pages will be closed and data will be deleted. All photos and videos related to Google+ will also be deleted. Photos and videos stored on Google Photos will not be deleted.

I guess I should start looking at archiving my collections and posts soon. I've already moved to MeWe (for the groups that moved there) and Friendica (ISurfSocial, but I can connect to anyone who's moved to THE FEDERATION) and posts from G+ currently "echo" - including this one - to ISurfSocial and Live Journal.

So I have my exit strategy in place, but it's also necessary to archive what's here. I've also left a few groups here on G+ because I'm already on their replacements in MeWe. There's no point in reviewing the same posts in each.

The countdown continues.
