Has anyone built the #indieweb version of Meetup? (Opt in to groups that then plan localized events - perhaps inclusive of online ones?) it’s tricky as it takes some good practices to avoid spam, scams and other bad behavior and actors. But reoccurring (as well as one off but low barriers to entry to holding) events is really good for community building (regardless of the topics)

I do think there may need to be a distinction between public events (in public space/online) where most people are welcome. And events that are for a vetted community where the details might be limited to that community (the event may or may not be visible w/o details) for discovery
