We're building an #opensource alternative to Meetup at github.com/OpenMeet-Team that uses #atproto to keep your data.

#FreeOurFeeds isn't just about bolstering one new social media platform. Our vision offers a pathway to an open and healthy social media ecosystem that cannot be controlled by any company or billionaire.

remember, signal is the only decent dm platform. all the others exist for sharing a signal handle, the way internet explorer is there to install chrome

OpenMeet now has events stored in your very own #atproto PDS as the source of truth following github.com/lexicon-comm.... For now, you can only create or delete events, but will add editing next along with capturing events from the firehose.

In times like these, we need stronger local connections. Come help us build a place to find or create all your local communities and events for free, without being the product #opensource #communitymanagement

Fed up with community platforms driven by profit motives and manipulative algorithms? OpenMeet is built to empower, not exploit, enabling you to create authentic, human-centric community experiences. We're working on using the #atproto PDS to store your data so your data stays yours.

In case you missed it: Cory Doctorow writes about the enshittification of social media platforms and why Bluesky needs a “fire-exit” for users. pluralistic.net/2025/01/20/c...

Let's make a Meetup replacement that runs on #bluesky. We're looking for #OSS contributors. github.com/OpenMeet-Team

Request for comments! If you're interested in how events and RSVPs are represented in the ATmosphere, please take a moment to read through this. Please repost this!

We need to fix this problem! We're looking at adopting the AT protocol more deeply in our meetup and facebook groups alternative for just this reason.

Anyone out there want to help build a replacement for meetup.com? Meeting up should be free. Finding community where we live is important. #OSS #opensource #buildinpublic

Being at the end of the driveway shoveling snow with neighbors all around doing the same is great for feeling connected.

Need a place to share your #hackathon, club meetings, and other events for free? We just added the ability to login using #bluesky. Try posting your events on platform.openmeet.net and share your feedback, or contribute to the #opensource project at github.com/openmeet-team

Interested in building an event hosting and community platform that can replace meetup.com ? Source and more info are at: github.com/OpenMeet-Team, or ping me #opensource #meetup

I'm working on an #opensource project for hosting events at platform.openmeet.net. We just integrated social login with #bluesky . If you want to create free events, try it out.

Have an idea that would get people to meet and bond? Create your own event for free, and we'll publicize it at platform.openmeet.net

Just added some Louisville KY events to platform.openmeet.net, an opensource meetup.com replacement. Come add your own! #buildinpublic

I've been adding #bluesky oauth2 login to openmeet.net . I'm sure a pro front-end dev could do it in a day, but I've taken ~3 days to get to my first end-to-end success. #buildinpublic

We're building a decentralized, opensource meetup.com replacement that publicizes your public events. #buildinpublic #opensource Currently working on bluesky oauth login. Will you try creating any events you have coming up in platform.openmeet.net and give feedback at our discord server. tks!

Deploy your own event and interest group platform: biz.openmeet.net/deploying-op... #buildinpublic

We added a chat and discussions feature by using the #Zulip api, but it's like talking over cups and string. Nothing against Zulip, this was all my fault, but I'll do better next time. #buildinpublic

People need to spend more time face to face. Let's get together more.
