Project Strobe: Protecting your data, improving our third-party APIs, and sunsetting consumer Google+
https://www.blog.google/technology/safety-security/project-strobe/
This is an FYI - I don't completely understand where the "sunsetting of Google+" will lead us (me), but I am now aware that something is going to happen on Google+ in 2019.
Bottom line, from what I have been reading, the use of Google+, and I am guessing Google+ Communities for the consumer (you and I) is not being used in the way it had been hoped / projected to be used.
I will not say that "facebook won", but certainly from my circles, facebook is where folks are.
Not giving up yet, but wanted you ALL to know what's going on with Google+ and that i am aware of this and looking for another home.
There are entirely too many Family Tree Maker user groups on facebook, so I am not likely to go there. I find them too unfriendly for my taste, have been "kicked off" a couple of times, my words, not blocked, just received too many negative comments. Too much negative energy in these FB groups, so I have un-joined most of them.
The good news, More Time for Research.
Thanks for listening.
