| I looked recently for my area. Almost all the listed meetups are online now, not in person. Bad juju. |

| Meetup sucks. The reason for the decline in social activity is not that it was insufficiently commercialized. Meetup should be a nonprofit. |

| ▲ | shartshooter 16 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I re-started using meetup just a couple of weeks ago after feeling the same way. And, honestly, my interactions were great. Meetup was scheduled, people showed up, we had a good time. I live in a smaller city and found two to go to in one night(ping pong and board games) | |
| ▲ | tdeck 13 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Meetup was fine 10+ years ago, but it's my go-to example of enshittification today. It feels like they're actively trying to kill it with every new change to the app / web experience. But despite that there are some good groups. | | |
| ▲ | jghn 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Meetups existed before meetup.com just fine. The site was there to provide a place for meetups to coordinate. Meetups aren't an artifact of the site. | |
| ▲ | margalabargala 12 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yes, but the good groups exist despite meetup, not because of them. |
