The best option if lifetime membership as you don't have to worry about loosing access.

At the moment there aren't many members in my area. But still I was able to meet with a visitor, that was fun and enriching. Also it keeps me updated on any events close by. Group chat is a good place to exchange and learn.

The only critical thing I can think of is that it's build on a centralized app. Would prefer an app built on Nostr. But then it's ok in the end. If it helps to meet bitcoiners, I'm all in.
