Hey, for anyone looking for an alternative to #Meetup dot com, just a heads up that there's a Fediverse alternative. It's called Mobilizon.

mobilizon.org

I'm starting to use the US instance (mobilizon.us) for tech and dance events here in the DC area.

And hey, #Elixir people? It's written in our language.

@maco I've wanted to host an instance for the Philly area for the past year. But as with all things not-big-tech it's the chicken and egg problem of "nobody knows what it is, no users so nobody migrates". I was talking about it to one of the organizers of my local 20s-30s group and he was like "wtf is Fediverse?". Sigh...

@studiop yeah. For DC Elixir the meetup dot com group still exists _for now_, so we used that to get people to show up this week then told them that we’re shifting to mobilizon and passed a QR code around the table. So now 11 of us are on there for that group, at least.

@maco @studiop there is which is more than an event/schedule platform, it does e-mail-based log-ins so no separate ID required.
