Do any of you have experience with meetups? I've both attended and organized a few of these. Now there are so many options. I'd love to see what you think about which ones are good or not because I want to branch out off of meetup.com. I mostly have experience with Meetup.com and Luma.

HER? Is that a platform? I couldn't find it. Or are you saying here? We could. We'd need to get a little more population going and get some activity going in specific local subs.
I was joking. It's a place to meet lesbians.
I voted on Facebook, and haven't a clue how those meeting places work. I have options to meet people in other ways. As for matrix population development, I think we can promote original content at matrix by posting matrix links at various social media sites, like Reddit &c.
I don't use any. I'm a loner and stick with my friends and family.
I don't think anyone really uses those
My friends have all started using Partiful for house parties and smaller events. It’s cute but a bit annoying when you’re trying to find the event info from an invite you got a while ago.
I’ve only used Meetup for industry events (software dev meetups). Eventbrite seems like it’s for bigger concerts and club nights. Haven’t used any of the others.
Meetup.com was good but lost in popularity during cuckdowns and never fully recovered. Now they put more of the website behind a paywall. I think you can still manage to organize something on there. The stuff that I see at least in my area is very generic, by the way. Not so good anymore for discovering events although I'm less interested in that to begin with now.
Texts, Email, Facebook, Telegram, Discord, Signal are the ones my freedom folks use.
Email and Facebook only for the Windsor Media Centre.
Phone for everyone else.
That'd be people you know right, meetup sites would be to make new friends, and there's no need to use a third party corporate app to chat with your friends and family.
This is like dating apps, not many use them anymore as the corporations enshittify them.
I used meetup a little before the pandemic, mostly to find groups. The pandemic pretty much killed them though and I haven't seen them come back.
They are definitely back. I've been going to a few game jams lately. With AI existing, pretty much anyone can pull off doing something at one of those. Sometimes, all it takes is going somewhere with just a half-ounce of social pressure to focus on that one thing. It forces you to block off time to learn a new skill. And it's easy enough now that if you use it to block off the time, you will pick something up in those 2ish hours. Highly recommend.
