As I said, mastodon.technology announced shutdown in advance, they haven't yet shut down. So people can discuss future plans there, they don't have to move to do it.
I agree it is difficult in the situation you describe, which is not mastodon.technology's situation.
- dredmorbius 4y agoHaving gone through this multiple times on both Mastodon and other social networks (Google+), not having a readily-accessible discussion record is a problem. I'd created both a subreddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/plexodus https://old.reddit.com/r/plexodus) and wiki (https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/Main_Page https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/Main_Page) to memorialise at least some of that discussion, as well as the on-platform discussion. That last is of course now unobtainable, though there were over 700 snapshots of the community homepage saved to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, see: <https://web.archive.org/web/20190401071102/https://plus.google.com/communities/112164273001338979772 https://web.archive.org/web/20190401071102/https://plus.goog...> Because of the mechanics of both G+ and IAWBM, actually navigating to articles from that archive ... mostly does not work. The G+ community had over 4,000 members (pretty good for late-stage G+). The subreddit ... a hair over 300. People. Will. Not. Go. Off. Platform. Even. If. That. Completely. Fucks. Them. Over. It's a really perverse dynamic.
