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. I mostly have experience with Meetup.com and Luma.

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.

I don't use any. I'm a loner and stick with my friends and family.

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.

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 definately back. I'm on the planning board for one that was def quicker than most at getting back to in person. But also 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 that has 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 use it to block off the time you will pick something up in those 2ish hours. Highly recommend.
