Meetup used to be amazing in certain cities and as someone who travels a ton it used to be my goto way to meet people.

Something happened after the pandemic though and it just turned completely garbage. All the events on there are virtual, spammy, corporate (like node js meetup stuff). Not to mention it doesn’t work half the time.

I would absolutely love an alternative.

That’d not a meetup.com problem but a „in person meetup“ in general issue.

All the groups I attended and the one I organized basically never restarted after the pandemic.

meetup didnt pause subscriptions during pandemic so we canceled all meetups and then never started them again.
